+1 to this idea, less mouse gesture, I don't have to go to activities, just a quick mouse hover to the left edge of the screen. In addition if there is an accidental mouse hover to the left, the slide-in effect must be quick enough to avoid distraction while working on a task.
Besides, for those people with various virtual machines running with GNOME Shell, the mouse cannot be recaptured by the shell when the VM is running in full-screen mode, unlike in KDE 4. I hope this can be addressed also. Great work for the current build! I think the shell is also ready for touch-screen devices. It is now my default WM.

This is a extremely simple change that adds the much needed* taskbar to gnome shell. *See my post in "Minimizing Windows violates mental model" for details.

When the mouse touches the left edge of the screen, the list of icons slides in, just like a taskbar, without activating the exposé for windows. I'd really like to see something similar in gnome-shell!
