Nice post, I am currious about the implementation details of the Classic
mode. It would be nice if someone could quickly answer a few questions:

* Will it be able to run applets written with libpanel-applet-4 (e.g. my
window-picker-applet)
* Can I rearange the panels and applets and for example remove the upper
panel and move everything down to the lower panel using ALT+Right_Click?
* Is it possible to remove the application menu and then call it with
the hot key ALT+F1 like in the current fallback mode?
* Can I still run gnome-panel inside this classic mode (e.g
mutter+gnome-panel like it is possible now)?

Kind Regards
