I guess one thing that worries me slightly about this is the addition of
another 'tab' on the Shell. This is starting to feel like panel applets,
to me - an invention of convenience that's going to get overloaded.
Every time we add some major feature to the Shell, is it going to wind
up being another overview tab? Is that what we really want? If it is
then great, I just wanted to make sure it was really designed that
way :)
