I also think the addition of the power off button on the main bar is also silly for the same reasons - your only ever going to use it max once per session. No, it is something very valuable, though only really on mobile or public systems: when I am using my laptop it allows me to quickly throw it

I Agree, I don0t like the fast user switching applet in my one-user-system, but... I love the powweroff button since it also works to lock the screen or close session... but it's on System's Menu. I think it's prefereable to leave it in the main bar, user's can remove it in an easy way, so I

I totally agree with this. Only functions that are used on an extremely regular basis should have an icon on the desktop. I do like the way Ubuntu has a 'places' menu along with 'applications' as if your going to do something then it's either going to involve a) opening a file or b) running a

I'm not sure if this is quite on-topic for the art list, but it has to do with visual presentation so I thought I'd try here first: As it is the top panel in Ubuntu is as cluttered or more cluttered than Windows or Mac desktops, with the addition of another panel at the bottom. One item that
