Both designs (and more) could be tried out this way.

I actually think it's a pretty good idea because of the way we are getting
used to tabbed interfaces these days. I would prefer the tabbed interface
over the workspace applets we now have, because of the possibility to name
the tabs to the activity/project.
However, I guess GS has already too much progressed towards the idea of the
overlay that this sadly wont get done or accepted.

I think also that is a good idea to change the desktop approach.
But I think that it could be heavy of consequences on the Gnome-Shell design
. The conversion of the desktop is a major change for an interface and we
need to decide at the beginning. I understand that we integrate a such
change in several times but we need to decide now. If we add it later, It
will be hard to get a good integration and keep the consistency of the
design.

Kao
