Re: Some small ideas for the Shell Panel and Overview

[Marshall Neill <ramien43 windstream net>]

It's not that it is difficult, just more convenient.  I have a laptop 
and the mouse is to the right about 4" away, so not so close really.  
Just that perhaps no one has ever considered this before.  I mean, just 
try this, take the mouse and move it left then move it right.  It 
appears to me to be somewhat easier moving it to the right, hence my 
suggestion.
By putting the shortcuts over there as well with Applications/Activities 
button and Categories it would seem to be more fluid.
Anyway, it was just an idea.   If you have the knowledge, perhaps you 
could move those controls and try it for a week and see if I am on the 
right track.
