Well Hi everyone, this is my first "pots" on ayatana..

I've been reeding what Mark said in one of the bugs linked in one
comments here.. And he said that they "want to have Ubuntu button near
the launcher"..

Well, first of all, which is the difference between de Dash (ubuntu's
button on gnome's panel) and the apps menu button on launcher? I think
that there is no differences.. Dash seems to work like an app filter
that can be improved in apps menu launcher button..

In that way we can have one button (like Mac OS) on gnome panel where we
can access to the system information and things like "About me" and so
on... 

And then Ubuntu's button can be placed on launcher, unifying dash button
and apps menu button.. and, naturally, launcher can be moved to the
right or, even, the down of screen and win an importan pixels on screen
and a gorgeous desktop.. 

I know, it's look to close to the Launchpad button on the upcoming Mac
OS; but I believe that is more useful and gorgeous desktop..
