I agree with everything you said, a lot has already been raised by other too so I guess there are good chances for seeing most of it answered in a "2.0". > - I don't think that I can get used to the new concept of mixing > "application buttons" with "started applications". I prefer a separate > region on the screen used for displaying the open applications . On OS X this bothered me too. I found a workaround: I removed ALL icons from the dock, only running apps would be represented in the Dock. For launching I exclusively used Quicksilver (launcher like GNOME-Do). When I had many windows per application open I still missed a real window-centric taskbar but with Expose in a hotcorner it's acceptable and sometimes (when working with images and not with same looking text/document windows) even better than the Windows/GNOME2/KDE taskbar. The Unity launcher has one problem that makes it less usable for this workflow: when there are more than one window on a desktop per application you need to click twice to switch to it (first on the launcher and then the scaled window). The OS X dock simply brings all windows of an application to the foreground with one single click. Most often this is what I want because if I want to switch to one particular window I will use Super+W/Expose. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
