I am new to this list, but I would like to suggest one idea today. For 3.10 I would like [:::] to be relocated to the top panel next to Activity. That would save two mouse clicks.
As for mouse clicks consider this (3.8 version)
click Activity--»Activity (program not in favourites)
click [:::] »» Program not in frequent grouping
click »» Add
Scroll
Click »» System
Click »» rarely used program in this grouped listing
Six Mouse Clicks to launch a program is way too many, By putting the [:::] to the panel, we could save 2 or more mouse clicks.
Justification
I was doing some heavy testing, filling up completely the frequent grouping. As we know, the frequent grouping is the dynamic favourites. At the same time I began getting tendonitus from all the left mouse button work. Has
someone thought that it should not ever require six mouse clicks to start a rarely used application?
request 2,
Provide a way to purge entries in frequent. If I accidently enter an application, it gets automatically posted to the Frequent side. How to I purge it?
As this is my first posting, please advise me if I am writing to the correct development list? If it is wrong, or you would like clarificant
With 3.6, we had catagories on the right side (consider right side of ALL as in 3.8) Can those categories be reintroduced for ALL?
And since I am remembering things, will we be able one day to tag our applications by a keyword, such as NewYork (for applications related to NY), or for any viable tag name.
The tagging kind of offers subsetting and faster access time for a subset of icons.

For the first idea, maybe something like this could be useful: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-gmail-notifier/I've been using it in both GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 ant id works properly with notifications, so it would be a good starter point.

Dear all,
unfortunately, I don't know if I will have the manpower in the next six
months to contribute actively to GNOME, so I'm just dropping two ideas
for features here. I believe they would benefit a good number of users.
* Finally have evolution display notifications for new messages while
the main UI is not open. There was a proposal in this direction several
cycles ago, but I believe it was postponed indefinitely. Has
evolution-data-server all the needed pieces? This is not conceptually
much different than notifications for new chat messages. Sure, it can be
achieved by some another different small program which needs to be
configured separately, but it would be nice to have this well integrated
with the rest of the GNOME experience.
* Add social network notifications. Some of them could be read-only
notifications (e.g. for Google+, which does not provide a write API),
others could afford to offer an interface similar to the one used for
chat (e.g. for Facebook and Twitter) where you can respond. Gwibber
attempted to do some of these things, but a solution integrated with
g-o-a (which already has the authentication pieces in place) +
gnome-shell seem to make much sense.
Anyway, thanks for your strenuous work!
Cheers,
