Same for me. I really like the dynamic workspaces feature and having the currently active workspace larger and more focused. I would just like to have the expose-feature on workspace-thumbnails reimplemented to make them * showing what windows are on the workspace - not just the one that is currently on top * keep the thumbnail fixed no matter what window was last focused. * make direct switching to windows on other workspaces possible Of course, this makes much more sense if native-window-placement-Exposé is used. The thumbnail looks much more unique than the grid of grid-exposé. Every grid looks like a grid ;-) _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
