Actually, I think a workspace switcher could possibly be implemented in a menu. But, apart from that, I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of the top panel and the bottom panel being the same thing. They are not. At all. I know, I know, you can configure, customize... But still, I think that it is confusing that two completely different things are actually the same thing (I don't mean confusing in the usability sense, i mean confusing for me). Why not have two different kinds of panels? The "System Panel" (home of menu-applets, menus, system-wide notifications, etc...) and the "Desktop Panel" (home of app-switchers, window-switchers, app-launchers, desktop-switchers, etc, etc...). Maybe calling them both 'panels' would still be wrong, but you know what I mean. Anyway, maybe we would be sacrificing a bit of customisability (is that a word??), but it would make the user experience a bit more uniform... I don't know. Anyway, about filing the bug... I'm ashamed to say this, but I'm rather new to the list and have never ever filed a bug on *anything*, so I would very thankfully accept any help.
