I'm more and more intrigued by the idea of using Windicators (such as
maybe an eye icon) as a means of hiding a window (where
applicable) but continuing the current operation from background
process and being accessible by an indicator applet, such as the file
transfer applet as you're

I like that. The eye symbol is quite intuitive and has been
traditionally been used that way in layer-based graphic editors.
I'd avoid using an eye for the same reasons the GNOME HIG recommends
against them:

What about that? Are there any plans already to default to single
click for opening files and folders in Ubuntu?
It is way more intuitive to open with just a single click and have the
modifier for the less frequent use-case of selecting (multiple)
elements.

Personally I fully agree that giving users a way to transition at their own
speed is really important. I've been thinking that retroactively promoting
Lucid, which most resistors have referenced, might be the best way to keep
customers happy for the next two years of rapid change and inovation.
We have create a new design page in the GnomeShell Playground to promote
this idea.
I hope it will be more clear to understand.

If you want to activate it, though, it's as easy as changing the

Is this true? I've never seen this happen. I just removed the
application indicator applet from my panel, and none of the elements
in it moved to the notification area.
I WOULD count this as a major win, but I've never heard about it

You are completely right, there is a semantic difference. But I wonder
if (have hard times believing) that this is recognizable by or even
relevant to users.
In my opinion, this is recognizable whenever the user does to files
or folders something he does not do to launchers, like deleting or

The problem with automatic controls is, you still need a simple
interface to override their behavior when the programmed automation
provides a wrong result. Maybe you can hide them a bit, but the same

have multiple buttons (or Simulated Secondary Click in the
