This is the problem in a nutshell: users, whether expert or novice,
are having to google how to turn off their own computers.

Just added a comment there:
There could be a couple of approaches to carrying out this testing. One
would be to have the extension openly available, and wait for people to

Hi,
GNOME Shell could benefit from having a better understanding of how
people are actually using it. The truth is, we don't really have much
hard data about this.
It could be that people are running into unforeseen troubles or that
some use cases are not being properly fulfilled. Moreover, it wo

It seems that we were having trouble with the terminology :-)

You are suggesting a task bar/window list/dock, even if you don't want
to say it. The visual appearance and user experience is obviously open
to debate, but at the end of the day we want a way to have all windows
in the current activity displayed together, so switching to a certain
one is just a ma

What is the problem that this would fix? Is it a real problem (i.e. can
it be identified in user testing?).

What do you think about Alt-Tab only showing the windows in the current
workspace? That would lower the complexity of the required interface by
reducing the number of choices; it would also make it possible to do
some helpful effect like Compiz does already (i.e. every press of Tab

Hi,
switching between applications in the same workspace is an issue for me.
The current solutions (Activities or Alt-Tab) are much more cumbersome
than using a simple window list, they take longer and demand a higher

Hi,
I will try to give an informed opinion.
In the current solution with Alt-Tab, windows can be invisible if the
active one is in fullscreen, and minimised windows are always invisible.
Extra input by the user is *always* needed to know the windows in the
current workspace. In addition to this,
