Comment 2 for bug 711787

Seriously? Depending on the usage pattern, the Workspace switcher icon is simply useless. I always use the keyboard to switch between my workspaces. And I never use the launcher to start applications or search for documents, whatever. I therefore removed all default entries from the launcher. Well, all I could remove.

As the window list is gone, the launcher is a fancy way to display the currently opened applications, I like it. But the Workspace switcher serves no purpose at all for me. It just takes up space! Please allow its removal. If you can't go so far to provide a context menu option, please provide a gconf setting!
