Speaking as a long time (since version 3.0a) Windows user, my preference would 
definitely be for a single panel, aka taskbar, on the screen with the single 
"start menu" style menu like JDS.

If you want a window switcher on the panel then fine. Personally I just use the 
buttons for each window on the panel directly.

Also, two things that annoy me about current Nevada builds are the fact that 
the power button on my Type 6 keyboard doesn't do anything in Gnome, but it 
works fine in CDE. (This is on an Ultra 10). The other is that on x86if I 
select "shutdown" from the menu, then press the button to actually shut down, I 
am returned to the Gnome desktop with no indication that the request to 
shutdown has actually done anything. It takes a while for it to shut down X, 
then I get the text mode console and again, no indication of what is happening 
(apart from the fact X is no longer running). What should happen when you 
select shutdown is something like this:

1. You are logged out.
2. X is shut down.
3. You get a message on the console saying that the system is being shut down.
4. The system proceeds to shut down.

It would be nice if this could be fixed.

Cheers

Andrew.
