There have been a few discussions like this on the mailing list, and most come to a similar conclusion:
People want an easier way to switch between windows, and alt+tab isn't a solution as a 'normal' user will likely not know what alt+tab is I honestly don't know what the solution is and I'm not a developer so i can't make an add-on for the shell, although that dock type add-on a while back looked pretty good Also I can't see what dE's point is, he seems to be trying to get the shell developers to abandon the shell and continue with the panels even though the panels are still going to be supported as a UI choice for gnome 3 . . . -Sean ________________________________ From: Mark Curtis <merkin...@hotmail.com> To: gnome-shell-list@gnome.org Sent: Tue, 23 November, 2010 19:09:08 Subject: RE: Gnome objectives Negative comments shouldn't be summarily dismissed either. > Subject: Re: Gnome objectives > From: awill...@whitemice.org > To: gnome-shell-list@gnome.org > Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:06:28 -0500 > > On Tue, 2010-11-23 at 06:47 +0530, dE . wrote: > > So I ran a poll on this in various communities - > > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-853679.html > > http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57638&start=0 > > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1628158 > > Seems to me the first comment on the Ubuntu forum hits the nail on the > head: > > <quote> > Something must be wrong with me.
