Ok, we're going a bit offtopic here, but it's interesting nevertheless. I'm not sure I like it, it has some interesting idea, but I find it quite far from usable (ok, I've not tried it yet, just judging from the videos, so I'm trying to hold by feelings on that for now). What I don't understand, is why not get rid of the panel bar at this point, the shell may be called by moving to some border, using a special key/mouse combination, or via the window border (which is another "obsolete" technology, but could serve a little more than just closing applications at this point).
