Looks pretty good, much better than anything I have been able to do with 
Unity.  One thing I don't see that is important to the way I work is 
workspaces that display the icons of the apps you have open in them and 
can be switched to by clinking on them. Unless that is in the right hand 
corner of the bottom panel and my eyes aren't good enough to make it out.

Thanks for sharing.
