Sugestions worth a look

[Fernando Hildebrand <fernandohildebrand gmail com>]

I've been using non stop both Gnome3 and Unity from Ubuntu. Here's what I've got:

1 - Gnome3 still have some quirks/bugs->some submenus get weird, sided, unreadable.

2 - Gnome is going the right way, good for desktop and handhelds, even celphones.

3 - When you go shell (super key), the ideia of putting the 
workspaces on the right side is great, but it's really too small if you 
are going to manage too many  apps and workspaces. I sugest this: When 
the user focus on the workspaces place, it should grow into the middle 
of the screen so you can see what you are doing, and should separate 
workspaces by two columns, and as rows as needed, the rows would 
function as they do now, when the focus go down, rows roll up. That's 
really important because the way it is now, in small screens it doesn't 
work.

4 - On the left side: There MUST be a trash for easy access, I 
suggest on the bottom, and below the one that removes links from apps.

5
 - One thing Unity got wright: On the left panel(apps launcher), small 
triangles indicating if the app is up, and how many windows of it are 
there is a good idea, it's visual and simple.
