Because, In Ubuntu we have two panels by default, which comes in the way of users, less screen space to work. So may be there can be a smart-group for currently opened programs, right on the desktop. Hence totally eliminating the need for the bottom panel. There is only workspace switcher and show desktop in it. Which can be moved to top.

Also,

1) There can be custom groups, Say I'm a web designer I want to have all my web design related apps in that groups, and if I'm a part time dj, I would have a seperate group.

2) There can be smart groups. Say If I'm a photographer I save lot of images, Then there can be smart groups, which means if certain file types such as jpeg, png were stored. Its instantly grouped under a custom smart group pictures.

There could also be a scroll bar, so that there can be any number of icons under a group, But, I'm not sure, how many will like the scroll bar idea, But definitely It'll be a great useful thing for desktop junkie like me.]]> Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:03:05 +0000 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:15:43 +0000
Here Solution #1 is about organizing launchers and files in one one desktop and Solution #3 is organizing among several desktops.]]> Sun, 02 Aug 2009 16:47:16 +0000
