I agree with you Mark,
People seeing what apps are running at a glance is a huge priority.
Killing horizontal real estate with the Global menu is not the solution.
Turning the Global menu into an autohide dock is only a workaround to a
problem.
On my 1440x900 laptop I use edge triggers with Compi
I have put up an interactive mock up of some of the ways I feel Unity
can evolve here:

Give each screen a bit of time to cache - it is just linked html.
The key features are:
* Fully navigable by mousepad tap (therefore screen touch)
* D

The old version can be viewed here:

The HTML is getting out of hand to maintain - any ideas on a better
platform for his kind of development that can get more people involved?

I think everyone is going to have a personally preferred position, but
maintaining a default association with the 'me menu' is probably a good
thing. However, as Dani notes, this can get in the way - especially
considering that many apps, especially on the graphics sides of things,
have their toolb

very well, albeit the notification is usually about installing some
nefarious piece of software update, and thus annoying by virtue of it's
purpose.

It would be great if the UI development could be accessible to a wider
community with a more graphical focus.
Also, this sounds more flexible to issues such as switching from
landscape to portrait as the apps could be doing their needed reshuffle
in a common language
My point is not about wanting "just to see what is below". It is about
the notification (as well advanced as it is) being obtrusive and in the
way for a wide variety of use cases, not just mine.
You make a good point:

And to start brainstorming potential solutions:

Yes - the minimise and maximise buttons are redundant in this model, so
you can put your hat back on :D
Several (unmaximised) windows are a tricky detail and has been touched
on in this thread already:

It seems that, under the subject of 1)Unity 2)and notifications, the
most discussion is concerning the 'Notification Bubble' (Thanks Matthew
for pointing to the spec)
2) Yes - the current implementation of the bubble is functional. It
notifies the user, it does fade when the mouse cursor is over

investigating I can make a video mock up when I am back.

The site seems to work well enough on Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

The Gnome Shell workspace implementation looks polished to me.
What Mark is describing sounds similar and I think a good move.
IMO we could learning from how Moblin implements general navigation as
well.

I think a shorter sound sequence retaining the Ubuntu identity. Maybe
the recording level turned down a bit too.

There is a philosophy of approach involved here. I agree with Thorsten's
points for the _default_ setup, but enforcing the default for all users
without scope for customisation reduces usability for
