I really want to use gnome-shell moving forward. However, these things
are kinda deal-killer for me. Are there any docs on how to write those
extensions that you mentioned ? I can try my hands over the weekend.

I believe fixed number of workspaces are something every developer
will have. May be we should try to implement in the core instead of a
plugin ?

And one dumb question, should the plugins to gnome-shell also be
written in JavaScript ?
