Please. What would you think of the 
system that when you click on FF starts 
FF, Evo and Gimp? I think you would say 
the system is broken.

Right now, if I want to start an app, the 
shell gives me zoom out, search, 
expose, workspaces, dash and apps, 
followed by zoom in. WTF? Seriously?

I am glad that you can take a lot of pain, 
but when things don't make sense, they 
don't make sense. No rant - just facts.
