Re: [Usability] Important suggestion

[Calum Benson <calum benson oracle com>]

Hi Zeerak,

Thanks for your suggestion. Since it specifically concerns the shell component, you might consider directing it to the <gnome-shell-list gnome org> mailing list, where more of the right designers and developers will probably see it more quickly.

Regards,
Calum.
