I don't think launcher was the right word. It will be placed in the Dash, right? That way, if t a user wants the shortcut in their launcher, they can add one (like any other application), or they can leave it as a Dash-only item. On Jul 6, 2011 10:47 AM, Jo-Erlend Schinstad

The reasoning for the global menu bar isn't just about saving screen space. It's also about reduction of UI chrome to provide an interface that looks cleaner and simpler. Mouse travel distance *is* irrelevant since mouse acceleration allows for great travel distances from short, twitchy movements.
