Well, not that bad. But still it needs three actions to pause the music player: (1) open overview, (2) activate/unhide player, (3) press pause in it. With the usual system tray (aka notification area with icon abuse), it's usually just right-click > pause. >> No. The top bar has been designed as a mostly static, system-owned >> [nearly empty] *scnr* > [portrait orientation, tablets, netbooks] *scnr* Sure, and for tablets in portrait orientation it's probaly too much even right now. So IMO, what's in the top bar should be configurable. For example, I have hawk's eyes and my laptop has no bluetooth, so the accessibility as well as the bluetooth buttons are useless to me. I always enter the overview using the windows key, so I have no use for the Activities button, too. But ok, I know that a consistent interface is an important issue for the GNOME3 design which has been discussed over and over again, so we can simply stop talking about that. ;-) >> IMO, a clipboard manager is such an important utility that there >> should be no need for an extension. > > No, it's a "power user" feature Really?

Yes, I've observer the same. I only use the windowNavigator extension to be able to select a window in the overview using the keyboard instead of having to grab the mouse.
