I'm on Fedora 15, no binary blobs

I have a working Shell on a R300 (mobility Radeon 9700)

I always though it was a bit too subtle, I hope it can evolve in
something more obvious for 3.2

I believe it's some kind of muscle memory. The dash reminds a lot the
old panels, and the buttons in the old panels are for launching new
application instances.

In fact, this was annoying me when I started using the Shell, and one
of the first things I searched was how to actually open another
instance of the same app.

AFAICT the Shell does not need a top notch 3D card and binary drivers.
For instance, I can run it comfortably on a couple laptops I have at
home: one is about 3 years old with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 130 (G86),
the other is a 5 years old Centrino with an ATI Radeon 9700 (r300).

Both are running with the open source drivers available in Fedora 15.
