Re: interapplication communication

[Johannes Schmid <jhs jsschmid de>]

Hi!

I think you can/could even configure such a bottom panel in gnome-shell
but it's kind of annoying because it takes up lot's of screen space.

I am currently using gnome-shell on my netbook and it is really cool to
have no second panel. Anyway, the top panel is mostly empty and that's
annoying. I was proposing a task list like Ubuntu Netbook Remix is
offering with icons only for the inactive application and the
application name for the active.

Anyway, I have the strange feeling that this list is more a discussion
between users than between users and developers which is a bit sad. I
would be really great if the core developers (Owen, Marina, etc.) would
join this discussion more often especially in the way if and how they
think some kind of task list could be useful. It seems that lots of
people are really proposing it.

Regards,
Johannes
