Hmmm, why do you need this at all? I am using the first hit in probably 90% of all use cases. You can activate the first hit by pressing return directly in the entry. I can not see how it can be faster... Maybe I just don't know what "Top Hit" is about :-) Can you try and explain it or point to a page describing it? > I know we don't want to make a Mac-clone or Windows-Clone, but usability is > usability. > > Feedback: I really like the use of the "button" icon and keyboard shortcut > in Gutsy.

This will be fixed in the next version of deskbar (the one that will be in Ubuntu Hardy Heron).
