Re: A few comments regarding Gnome-shell

Juergen,

Gnome-shell has some tiling features built in *

I guess by that you mean that you can drag a window to the edge and it will be resized to half the screen size so that you can have two windows side by side? Or is there anything else I'm not aware of?
 

and when the windows are side by side its two clicks vs. one. Of course it can be weighted against additional clutter on the screen. I like having everything in one place (the window). But maybe thats old-fashioned.

I think we pretty much agree there. I like that top-panel menus unclutter the screen, but I also see your point about saving one click and honestly, I can't give an objective reason to put one above the other. I think it boils down to personal preference, doesn't it.
 

Regarding unity: i confess i like that in unity the titlebar is integrated with top panel when windows are maximized.

It's a pretty smart move, yes. One that I'd like to see in GS one day.
 

So I think removing the close button from windows altogether (as others have done), and maybe moving it to the top panel (not only context menu of activity, but explicit) is at least worth a try.

Totally agree there.
