Yes, I see your point. I agree that we need a way to only show windows
on the current workspace, although I'm not sure what the best way to
implement it would be.
I think the developers have said they have other plans for the window
name in the panel, but I could see a hot corner working.

Hi,
I'd like to list my problems, but it might be a bit pointless to join
the shouting in the thread this came from. So here's my (hopefully)
well-defined proposal.

I don't see how Gnome-Shell fails on any of these. Firefox's download
window is simple to find in the overview, besides you can always get to
it from Firefox's menu - or put a button for it on the tool bar if you
like. GIMP works fine - the only windows that show up in the overview
are the actu

That's a bug in gksu, the program responsible for starting applications
as the root user. The problem is that it locks the whole screen while
you type your password.
Hopefully, I think it is to be changed to use PolicyKit for
authentication, meaning that it would use the standard password dialog

I was wondering if there were any plans regarding the behaviour of programs
that need root privileges ( RootSudo or how root privileges window is called
in Ubuntu) like for e.g. synaptic package manager?

A tiny comment on this. One of the main thing
I'm currently at work where I use Compiz for workspace switching (Cube or
Wall, I love them both), and I just found myself /really/ wanting to quickly
open a new workspace, which unfortunately is quite a task in Compiz, unless
I write a script for it. So I thought I'd come here and cheer people up
I do have a few other examples where the current GNOME-Shell would fail;
FIrefox and it's separate download window.
GIMP and it's multiple windows.
MPlayer
A Dock is impractical here, as all of them are currently incapable of
showing me what's in the window. Unless we either have the classic
"Getting out of your car to change the radio station" analogy makes some sense.
Zoom out effect is distracting and aimless when user use only one workspace. My
previous message [1] take some approach to remove left side panel so zoom out
will be unnecessary. All non-running applications and non-

That's actually a very good idea: I rearrange the windows myself too.
But is it enough to provide an alternative to the application switching
method?
I'm thinking in maximized applications, like a web-browser or open-office (I
usually use them maximized).
Personally I think the biggest problem is

@Danté Ashton:
I'm using gnome-shell at home most of the time ever since I heart about it
when Ubuntu 9.10 came out. Since I'm used to working on 3 to 4 tasks at a
time ( yes I don't like to turn off my computer and only put it in
hibernation ) it felt natural to use one workspace for every task t

The root of problems might be that you try to solve
I completely agree with you. The Ubuntu Netbook Remix approach looks
attractive and is really useful: it gives the indication of what apps
you're currently using on the workspace. That's what the shell lacks at
this point. App launching is great the way it currently is, though I
would like to s
Hi!
OK, let's have a constructive discussion, no ranting...

Haven't you realized yet that is entirely bad idea about the current

won't use them in this stuff), and for people who used it (they need _fixed_
workspace combination, not dynamic one). Guys, you better drop this idiotic
