-0.5 from me - I'm still partial to alacarte as it's an easy way of
creating/managing application shortcuts even if it doesn't fully mesh
with GNOME 3.8's way of doing things

+0 from me - don't mind either way

+1 but only if Bijiben or Gnote get added

I've used XTerm to save the day when I've had GNOME in a very messy
state in the past. Yes, I know I'm crazy, but I dont see the harm in
letting this one slide.

Thanks for the ideas!
