I love it. I understand what your/your roommates problem was because I've noticed it too. I wouldn't particularly use Library since I think keeping a list of recent documents opened/used it unnecessary clutter, but removing the Application tab from the window overview and placing it onto the panel is a great idea. If people want, an alternative to that even, is to placing the Applications tab/button/whatever just under the Activities button and make it appear with the rest of the ovewview. > Cheers > Seif > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list > > _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
