I'm afraid a poll on such a trivial UI matter would be a terrible idea.
People never like change for sure, but one of our goals for 3.0 a cleaner and
more well balanced interface. This is one of the steps, and I hope it will turn
out as the better choice in the end. I don't think we should be afraid to fail
every once in a while, and this one is easy to change back. :)
--------------------
It is very clear upstream wants to take this into gnome 3.0 , so any change needs to be done only in Ubuntu, I'v seen mpt argue against this move since 2008! , maybe he[UX team] could decide Ubuntu's direction.
No need for a poll i guess, since even Ubuntu's team is against this change and no amount of polling is going to change this upstream.
