Haven't you realized yet that is entirely bad idea about the current
gnome-shell? It both sucks to people who doesn't use workspace before (they
won't use them in this stuff), and for people who used it (they need _fixed_
workspace combination, not dynamic one). Guys, you better drop this idiotic
approach and try to make something useful instead of this ugly slow
overlayish horror. I always feel only regressions in usability when I'm
trying it: grouped alt+tab sucks, the lack of taskbar, always need to enter
ugly overlay to launch something.
