Indeed, and as such, ideas like the ones being used for the new
Windows 7's panel[1] could be used as an inspiration.

Yes.

I'd love to get rid of the toolbar entirely, but if we're going to have some sort of panel then Windows 7's toolbar is the right idea.

Especially if we're trying to think in terms of Activities and not individual windows, it doesn't make sense to clutter the screen with separate tasklists, launchers, and systray icons.

(A similar idea was actually floating around on the Ubuntu forums in 2006.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320315)
