@effenberg0x0; doing Dash home configurablity to a standard where it is delivers not just a good but a excellent experience and is usable by all types of users, not just hackers, will take a lot of design and development time and resource. The home screen links that we are removing were causing significant usability problems (evidenced in multiple iterations of controlled user testing in our lab) and in their current form are an impediment, especially to new users. Given the time and resource constraints we have to work with, and also because 12.04 is a LTS (for LTSs we try to avoid introducing major new functional areas), it will not be possible to build a great Dash home configuration story in this cycle. However if (and it is a big *if*) we get the time/resource to look at this area in the future, we will review this thread and use all the valuable input and ideas yourself and others have provided to help to kick off the design process.
