Related project: Gnome.
Status: Not an idea
Rationale
The default panels for Ubuntu with Gnome are much to confusing. This is usually the first thing users experience with Ubuntu and it is much to confusing. I think reducing the panels to just one panel with a dock or application launchers/ window list embedded in it, or a dock with system notifications and other panel essentials embedded in the dock.

Idea #18039: "Making the GNOME panel better", Solution #30: "Add an option in preferences that allows for a dock like the one in Mac OS X", Solution #31: "1 Panel instead of 2"
