Luca,

  I really like this mock-up. Only a couple things…

  This will need to be weighed against the idea of having some sort of
separation (DBus) between backends/UI. Although, if Chromium can suggest
search results as you type over the Internet, it should be possible to
do locally. But it may not be straightforward, it may take a lot of
tuning.

  There are GNOME settings for "Show Icons Only" / "Show Text Beside
Icons" etc. — should GTG respect these to some extent? I am not sure. I
have seen some apps (can't remember which…) that *always* display text
for some less obvious buttons, and for other ones respect the user
preference.
