Seriously, you are completely missing the point. In this thread, many reasons for which gnome-panel is good have been told. Some of them silly, most of them very valid. But just because it is good, it is completely unrealistic to ask the Shell developers to keep all of the corresponding features in their new solution. In order to cope with other, incompatible needs, they made design choices that make this impossible. For very good reasons too. Instead of focusing on telling the Shell developers do this or that (and frankly, if I were them, that would be the last kind of speech I would like to hear), you should focus on keeping the gnome-panel experience available. Said otherwise, you should invest time in helping to maintain gnome-panel and port it to work with GNOME 3 technologies (think mostly of the control center, maybe of GTK+ 3), instead of investing it on trolling this mailing list. That would achieve what you want in a much better and more useful way. > Just one last thing for now: Most of those who disagreed with me are > developers, most of them who agreed with me are users. Users? Let me laugh. Power users, maybe. As soon as you are talking about people wanting to customize their window manager, you are not talking about real users. Users might understand having a choice between GNOME and GNOME Classic, just as they understand the one between GNOME and KDE, given the huge difference in general ergonomy - and even that is too much for some categories of people. But window managers? A real user might not even know he can add new applets to his panel! -- .''`.
