I think it would be worth fleshing out some existing parts of the design, like the application menu and launchers, before delving in to gizmos as a separate component. In the end, if the rest is done to cover the appropriate jobs, they may not be necessary. One really dumb thing with gnome-panel

If it hasn't been discussed, maybe worth some pondering, and if it has in recent history, I for one would love to know the verdict :) I don't think I've discussed it with regards to Application Indicators, but the issue that I've always had with emblems is that they look bolted on. So

So instead of making this thread bigger, why don't people go to write a 'Interface' capplet, starting with what there was on the Interface tab? If it's done correctly, we can even think about including it in gnome-control-center! :) On that topic, it strikes me as fairly logical to mix a new

Personally, we should cede the desktop to other projects like XFCE that work very well with minimal hardware requirements. I've noticed a lot of projects in GNOMEFiles with goals to write lightweight panels and what not. 10 years is a reasonable amount of time to expect hardware
