Re: [Ayatana] A realistic vision of the next iteration of Unity

[Henrik Peytz <henrik.peytz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree on all points, especially the frustration of not being able to remove the global menu/top panel.

Still though, wouldn't something like what I proposed earlier http://fav.me/d3h14i1 (disregard everything but the traybar in top-right corner) work?

Last I checked, Gnome supported multiple resizable panels. Wouldn't it be a simple matter of defining "this autoscaling, always-on-top panel goes in the the top-right corner and holds all the tray-icons per default"? As far as I see it doesn't violate the standard convention of how tray-icons work, while at the same time allowing for removal of the rest of the panel.

The Expose thing is compiz, most of the other points concern the
launcher so I'd fill them under Unity. Actually I'm not really sure
what ayatana-design should be used for at all.
The ubuntu welcome center needs a different approach, maybe that's
what aytana is for? It's not a needs packaging because it doesn't
exist, it's not a part of core Unity either. It's more of a high level
design/usability goal.

PPA could be filled under ayatana too or directly under "ubuntu", it's
nothing that concerns a single package but is an
infrastructure/management issue.

But I'm no expert on these matters...
