As to memory, I noticed this as well, but I am
coming to the conclusion that it is using a lot of memory per
window/workspace. I noticed that after having it open for 9 hours it
was using 12% of my 2GB of memory.

Hey all,
I gave gnome shell a bit of time today, I've been tuned in to this
mailing list for some time and previously built the project a few times
out of curiosity. Today I spent a couple of hours using it and wanted
to share my feedback:
The main issue I found was that I couldn't easily keep track of what
windows I had open on my current desktop. I tend to use workspaces for
specific tasks; for example I use pgadmin3 and I tend to have numerous
query windows open at any time. Without my panel and my 'windows list'
I couldn't easily find what I was looking for. I'd either have to
alt+tab to the find the correct window (which was rather time-consuming
and quite fiddly) or I'd have to open the activities window and look
for it there. Is there something I'm missing? I've seen a few youtube
screencasts where people have coupled gnome-shell with Avant Window
Navigator to get keep on track of windows but I wondered what's the
gnome-shell way of managing a current desktops windows?
I really like the way when you view the workspaces from gnome-shell it
explodes the windows in to an easy to read grid, a potential solution
to my issue would be to have that functionality available while focused
on a workspace? A key combination could organise all windows on the
workspace allowing the user to pick the one they're looking for - I
think I've seen a similar effect in compiz-fusion.
My second issue was after using gnome-shell for a couple of hours,
although it seemed very stable i experienced serious slow down the more
i used it. It looked like mutter might have been leaking as it was
consuming 200mb+ of memory?
All in all I was pleasantly surprised with gnome-shell and I'm really
looking forward to seeing it develop. I'd love to see it look prettier
(osx, kde4 & win7 all look very good these days) but I
trust that will come later.
Keep up all the good work all those involved.
- Jimmy
