its just not the task-list, its also that you must click into activities 
to run something, and you can not create a icon on the menu bar.  (you 
can on the desktop but they say that will go away also)

even alt-tab does not work properly anymore. if you have 3 gnome-terms 
open alt-tab only shows one object.
