I started running the ones that looked interesting. I used the prun app out of itsutils to make it nice and easy. These apps should be on any verizon q9c. Give some of them a try and let me know if you find anything fun in there. The best one I've found so far is probably IPUtil. Interesting ones in bold.

MotSettings - black screen. Appears to do noting.
Media manager - nothing special
intshr - internet sharing settings
IPUtil - Allows PING, DNS lookup and IP address configuration!!!
ModemBridge - Offers a half-complete screen with Yes and No, select "no", device locks up.
CDMA_Menu - Phone settings
BtTraceSP - some sort of Bluetooth debug app? Has a "dump registry" option
BTPcRemote - Not sure. asks me to add a new device.
CDMA_Connection - no idea. Kind of afraid to test.
PMQhelp - "personalize my q help" - list of ways to customize
UserDefinedMRUSetup - Set user defined home screen shortcuts
AudioEnhance - Audio engancement settings
arinvalid - nothing?
bridge - nothing?
catalog - MARKETPLACE - "error no catalogs are configured on this device"
FTM - quickly flashes "programming *something*" then goes away
TimeWizard - doesnt appear to do anything.

Oh. by the way, I take absolutely no responsibility if you pooch your phone. I have no idea what most of these things do.

Hmmm... how so? Like, change the look of it, or make it pop up?

I've been poking around a little bit, and I didn't find the start-button windows logo in the ROM. I'd bet you can replace the whole start bar by creating or editing a theme though. But I didn't have time to get that far into it.

Figuring out how to extract wm6 themes will go a long way to helping your goal I think.
