That really sounds interesting.  Is the code somewhere?  Do you have a
BLOG?

Welcome to the fold. :)  I was extremely skeptical.  But GNOME has done
right by me for years, and the applications are first-rate, so I decided
I'd give it a try.... and it discovered the same thing as you.

Most notably I couldn't imagine a desktop without a task-bar.  But I've
been taskbar-less for a long time now.  I don't miss it at all;  I
discovered I just don't need one.

Yea, that is one change I think just doesn't make actual sense.  But
that *is not* on the radar as a global change, so I'm not that
concerned.
