Gnome-Shell is part of GNOME 3 which was postponed (at least) until the
next spring, so I expect our Design Suite to default to the classic
panel in F14.
That's what I heard, too. We should be good here.

-1 to having application icons on the desktop, they are in the menu and
if the users want them on the desktop, it is trivial.
I added this icon in the first place to enable people to access
further resources. I feel that Mo's introduction of Inkscape to
students is a resource we should link to (for those who don't know:
http://opensource.com/education/10/4/introducing-open-source-middle-school).
I'd like to see us expanding that - whether these links should be on
the desktop or in the browser or some other place is certainly
debatable, though. :)
