I'm not really interested in brainstorming right now. Natty is going to be 
released in three
months and I'm interested in knowing which ideas the official design team 
*already have*
to address the hover issue, or why they don't consider it an issue.

What are you talking about? Ubuntu is being installed in touch
devices as we speak:

Not to mention that Unity is supposed to be touch-friendly by design:

I don't, and that's another point against Unity in its current form for
touch devices.


Ah ok i get you now.
So how about unity launcher, NO appmenu, wingpanel 48px transparent and 
transparent titlebars with large "hide" button and large "float" button?
"float" button would scale down the window aka document and make it transparent 
just like when i'm moving windows in compiz in current natty.
also.. i suggest strongly to reduce the opacity by at least another 10% by 
default..
