Hi Irene, I'm sorry, I really do not think you've argued the business justification at all: "looks very cool" does not work for me. Did you perhaps mean to say that you want this integrated in order to provide a user experience which is comparable to that of Mac OS X or the latest bleeding edge linux desktop? How will this interact with the existing GNOME Panel? What requirements are there for applications to ensure that they behave properly with AWN? Will I have to recompile things in order to get the "stick to desktop #Z" behaviour? James C.
