unity dashboard "launcher" should be moveable

Not an idea
simply put, i like the placement of the dashboard launcher in ubuntu 11.04 much better than 11.10 because it takes up a lot less screen space. i like it being nicely hidden and integrated into the top panel.
the dashboard launcher in ubuntu 11.10 takes longer to get to, in most cases. it also takes up more screen space, which is very valuable to most people.

in unity there is no way to add a workspace but unity supports more than 4 workspaces and they can be added using cario dock but unity does not provides an option
Solution #1:
add an option to add workspace

when we right click workspace switcher it should give an option to add a couple of workspaces
also to remove last added workspaces
when workspace are added they should be temporaraily added for that session
like through cario-dock.
we can add permanently using ccsm
this is optional:
when right clicked show all workspaces in a list and when clicked switch to them also optins such as settings
this can increase usability

Add a new workspace atomatically when are screens in all existing one, and remove a desktop if there is not windows

Solution #3:
Add Plus/Minus Sign to Workspace Switcher
When the Workspace Switcher is open, there would be plus/minus signs below and to the right of the current workspaces, which add/remove rows and columns of workspaces when clicked. The tooltips would also be like "Add Row" or "Remove Column".

Solution #5:
Standard should be the Gnome3 way.

Make the standard desktop management as easy and comfortable as in gnome3 (#2 I think?), because this is easy to use and fits to most users. Because everything you need is one free desktop at a time, and the ones who exist. I can't see a reason to add 5 empty screens. But I see reasons to always have the same (static) number of desktops available. So both things should be optional.
To people who think that #4 is better and/or #2 is bad:
Please remember that standard settings should always be optimized for people who are often called the "casuals". You know, people who just want to use it and do not think big about management of things like this. For these people, the computer should care about them and they should not always think about the computer, but about the things they are doing. So this is why this solution is the same (I think?) as #4, but with inverted standard settings.
EDIT #4 just got deleted. It was about making #1 and #3 standard and #2 optional.

Solution #1:
an icon with the most important information about the ubuntu one status
put an icon with the most important information about the status of ubuntu one, like dropbox (syncing speed, remaining time, connection information..)

Solution #2:
Status indication in the messaging, network or power indicator
A simple status indication under the messaging, network or power indicator could help. It doesn't take up much space and it doesn't sit in the way there, but it could be usefull to check the sync status.

Singleclick,Doubleclick settings are in the file browser

The Settings for having single or doubleclick is not in the Ubuntu Mouse Options. It's still set in the file manager which is rather weird for users.
They would look in the system settings for an option like this
