Maybe you can try to do a swipe from the desktop (outside the activity
button) towards the top left corner (passing through the activity
button). The problem I can see now is that if you have a fullscreen
application, this does not works :(

And for the battery icons and others, they used to only work while in
the overview mode (it's a known bug, mentioned by Florian). However, I
just gave it a try today, and it was working correctly.

Cheers,
Benjamin
