Re: Unity feature I'd like to see in Gnome-Shell

Actually no, I can't even say that. Hitting the same place on the edge of the screen every time is way easier than hitting the window decorations, wherever they might be or however far it might be to the menu.

Except that it's only a minor regression for those with massive screens, negligible (I still prefer it) for those with average screens, and it's a seriously huge advantage for the plethora of small screened devices out there.

Oh I understand the theory, I just think it is *completely wrong* when
applied to a workflow containing either/any of

1) A very large screen
2) Non-maximised or non top-left anchored windows

Admittedly g-s doesn't really encourage #2 that well at the moment, but
the Unity global menu does a much better job of making my life misery
than g-s removing minimize button/window list.
