A disconcerting aspect of Gnome 3 is that it appears to NOT have been 
designed for persons who have already been using Linux for a while.

For instance -- to launch a not-yet-in-use program the user needs to 
click on an 'Applications' button located on the LEFT side.  This (for 
somebody with lots of programs installed) brings up a screen cluttered 
with icons.  Gnome 3 provides a menu-list to filter those icons down to 
a more manageable number.  But that menu-list is on the RIGHT side.

A tablet user might want such an arrangement -- he could use his left 
thumb to touch the 'Applications' button and immediately use his right 
thumb to select within the list of filters.  But a Linux user with a 
substantial-sized screen is forced to TRAVERSE that screen from the one 
side to the other.  Why not support the applications filter-list to be 
configurable to the SAME side as the applications display button ?
