What does including it actually mean?
What changes would be made to the current default layout?

Which is more or less what I asked earlier
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-October/msg00277.html

(On a more minor note I'm unimpressed by the use of the term "Favorite
Applications" since Gnome has otherwise avoided the word favourite in
favour of Bookmarks, Launchers, etc., and on top of that it is a term
which requires entirely British localisation which could be avoided by
picking a better term.  Just because I'm required to frequently use tax
software for example does not make it anything remotely resembling a
"Favorite Application" so the term is a patronising misnomer.)

Slab seems quite a lot more useful when the search is enabled using Beagle
but we wouldn't be getting Beagle so we need to be careful we are all
making a fair evaluation of the same thing.  I have a feeling that if/when
we adopt slab or we need to actually need to turn it on and use it, and
get buy-in from distributions a more consistent standard layout, but I'm
repeating myself.
