Now if only they had bothered to merge the two panels' functionality, so I didn't need to bounce back and forth between the top and bottom of a 30" monitor ever. There's no real reason to have both; the top one doesn't even have anything on it, really, so it's not like you need two panels to fit all the functionality. App menu, modern dock, notification icons, calendar, workspace switcher... that's all you need. IMO, anyway.

Yes, would be really nice to have.

However, they did excellent work there nonetheless. Once a "true" workspace switcher extension crops up (the one that actually shows windows on workspaces), I think the sanity will be completely restored.

PS. Amazingly _multiple_ people/groups produced slightly different solutions to what is "overview bug". If that's not indicative of the brokenness of it, I don't know what is.

There is no logic in your PS. Happily using gnome-shell, and various people will be using KDE, XFCE, Windows, etc.

Apparently, none that you can see.

Have you not heard of open source developers and users scratching their own itch? Really?
