Have Gnome not done away with the notification area in 3.0 also in which
case how do their apps handle not having the notification area.

We now have the blue Ubuntu indicator when an application requires
viewing so I don't particularly see not having an indicator as an issue
as long as the application icon shows up in the app launcher.  If we
went with gnome 3.0 people would have the same complaint it's a new
desktop shell get over it.

I have 2 boxes that I run all day my laptop on Natty Unity and my main
desktop on maverick,  I keep wondering where the launcher is on
maverick, as I have the key application setup there that I use all day.

I can't wait to upgrade my main desktop but that won't be till stable is
released.
