I agree, i only want the minimum in the "notification area".
If it was necessary to make an other area called "app selector", why not ?

I agree, when i used vista, I had 40+ system tray applets, and that took a
toll on my laptop. That's why I switched to ubuntu, to not have 3 rows of
system tray.

Hi everybody!
I was wondering how could be that app launcher and this is my point of view:
First of all, I think that having a KDE/Windows menu is unusable. Why? you
need several clicks to open recent apps so if you use an aplication
frequently it slows your workflow. Mac OS X bar is a good appro
With regards to the file manager idea I think this would simply be genius! A
start would be possibly to port across KDE's fabulous content sensitive "New
device found" type window which offers such functionality. Given how good
F-Spot is (and how few people realize it exists!) it would be great to

I do like this idea very much, but I think there would be a lot of
resistance to it as I think people like having their desktop as a junk
store.

I do not think removing the desktop as a junk store is a good idea: think

Andrew, your ideas are great, but I find one problem in that draft. I think
that you will need at least 3 clicks to open an app, and that's not usable.
Current gnome's menu is quite obsolete, three clicks needed to open any app,
so improving this could be a killer feature.
How can we do this? tryi
Yeah. I was thinking Hardy+1 - Possibly even Hardy+2. I dont think
there is even time for a full new theme, let alone a whole new UI for Hardy!

Here's an idea, and something I have been wanting for a long time...
Get rid of the 'Desktop' as a file store - remove it from the directory
hierarchy!
The only reason to store something on the desktop is if you can't be
bothered to put it where it's meant to go. Ideally everything should be

I agree. I really like a lot of things Apple does to improve usability
