I designed my desktop to make the OS GUI work like the Firefox GUI. Find windows in the window selector (like the tab list in Firefox) on the far right. Launch new windows on the far left. All interaction at the top (no bottom/top trips). I think it is efficient in space and mouse movement. You can see the layout in this pair of images that I used to file a bug report on the gnome panel drawer. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/3064503/DrawerOfDrawers_crash_updown.png I like GNOME, but the default panels are a waste of space, while still looking alien to a windows user.

I find that it is a great replacement for both the notification system (well, the sys tray still has some uses), launcher and taskmanager because it is all combined into one place.
