My vote is on this. Alternatively, tweak Gnome shell: install *tint2* for a
taskbar and install *gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu* for a normal apps
menu. It should also be easy to remove the hot corner (I'm guessing that
since there is code to add another corner
on gnome-shell-extension-righthotcorner).
