Thanks for the screenshots. As Omer points out, some of the problem
there is a visual artifact of a separate bug.

However, I do think you have a point, in that the relationship between
the Dash Home screen (the one you get when you click on the Ubuntu
button) and the various Places isn't extremely clear. Also, that the
direct links on that screen don't necessarily lead to all the things
people want.

The search isn't clearly a files & apps search, for example, it just
says "Search". We could do more with that top part of the screen to say
what you can search for.

Will you be at UDS? We could do an in-person design round there to look
at refinements to the Home screen. Alternatively, would you put some
thought into how that top part of the Home screen could be improved, and
attach a wireframe to this bug, or send it to the Ayatana list?
