One of the most impressive fact for people (coming from other OS) working on my computer (running Gnome) is the tight and comprehensible integration and simplicity of the environment.

I often run applications in fullscreen (since my low resolution monitor) and I still see problems with window switching and DnD support for this case. > - Normal users should be allowed to not notice workspaces at all Or at least as possible. Most of my (non-techie) friends really don't know what workspaces are. For them, multiple desktops just cause massive confusion (where are my windows...). I, in contrast, use workspaces extensively (minimum 6) and want to keep them. At least, workspace indicators should be big enough and easy to recognize. Personally, I think they are slightly underrepresented. > - Make 'Open new <name>' workspace-specific.

Just take my comments as remarks of a interested user. Thanks to all involved in Gnome. Regards
