I'm with Nathan. I can't get a side stage on Nexus 7. Even the System
Settings which used to naturally be on the side stage are now full

The 3-finger swipe gesture in the photo causes some strange behaviours
with apps that are running... the apps themselves try to interpret the
gesture, with sometimes comical results.

Off to report a bug...
