Thanks Omer and Mark. Please let me know if there is a better place to file and discuss this.

Right clicking on the 'applications' icon brings up only a limited menu which varies in scope. If clicked when an app with a white background is open, the options are invisvible (see screenshots)

This workflow is not obvious (especially when you are used to associating access to your applications and settings with the Ubuntu logo). In my case, due to my bug report #633094, this icon was off the screen with no obvious identity as a system function. This raises the question of why the Ubuntu logo does anything at all if it is only duplicating the functionality of another button - only slightly differently?

In my opinion, icons giving access to system menus should be top of the list, not 'foldable' and graphically very obvious that they are not an application launcher.

Thanks for the bold new concept in netbooks. Hope my comments are useful.
