Hey,

I know it hasn't been dropped, but there is still quite a lot of work
left to be done, so I'd like to have a list of things that have to be
done to make GNOME Shell a "first class citizen" in Oneiric created
during UDS-O. I know it has been discussed during last UDS with GNOME
developers to some extent, so it's possible that the list is at least
partially done already.

Some of the changes required are trivial, like explicitly setting
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 to disable new scrollbars, but some other, like
restoring the default GtkStatusIcon behaviour for all applications. will
take quite a lot of time and effort, and will require some help from
both Desktop and Ayatana teams to make it happen.

I'm planning on working on those issues in Oneiric almost exclusively,
but I can't tell how much time am I going to have right now.

Cheers,
  KK
