In GNOME Shell, windows can be easily tuned to consume half of the screen. (use Super+Left for left half, Super+Right for right half, Super+Up for maximize; drag the window to certain place also do the tricks).
So extra pane is kind of dup from GNOME's point-of-view I guess. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
