Bug Description
Unity and window action (show / min / max /close) is focused on the top left of the screen. However the two standard lenses (Applications and Files & Folders) are at the bottom of the stack and on most smaller screen devices in a "tilted" or "hidden state". This is not only counter intuitive (the Application & Places menu until now was also in the top left corner), it increases the mouse travel distance (when activating Unity from a hidden state) from top to the bottom of the screen every time a lens action is required. These lenses should be on the top of the stack - not the bottom and always "visible" i.e. not tilted. There is also no explanation for new users to right click on the lens to view the list options.
