Binary package hint: unity

I see few difficult for using Unity on TabletPC (without stylus, finger only).

1. Hovers. If I hover over the top panel, a menu appears. It's convenient on Desktop, but I can't do this on tablet. Maybe, it's good idea to create an option that enables alternate method for appearing menu (i.e., button, or click on free space on panel).
2. Top panel too small for using finger. It's very good idea to add option that will be change panel's height and icon's size.

P.S. Can you show window buttons (close, minimize, maximize) on top panel always (if window not in fullscreen, duplicate this buttons on top panel). It's inconvenient when I need close few windows (part of it in fullscreen, part windowed), I must move mouse's cursor on screen instead clicking only.
