All reasonable suggestions, thank you MPT. I would be happy to see exploration of any of these in Oneiric. For Natty, my preference would be either the first one (no new panel or dialog interface, just an extra checkbox in Appearance), or even better: > * "Workspace Switcher" being a pseudo-application that can be dragged to the launcher from Applications (as Spaces is in Mac OS X, for example). This one requires no new chrome, so is particularly attractive. Is it implementable in Natty? > * A context menu item for any empty area of the launcher. We don't want to introduce a context menu if we can possibly avoid it, and to do so for a feature of questionable usefulness would not make sense.
