Bug Description

The list of running apps in the Apps scope is a big distraction and makes the Apps scope difficult to get accustomed to. The Apps scope is the most important part of the phone UI and it needs to be as clean as possible. Its a duplication of the same thing as the right edge switcher.

My suggestion: Please remove that category from the Apps scope and add the close functionality to the right edge switcher.

This will make the use of Ubuntu phone easy and make the Apps scope look consistent,

Yes, this will be removed once we have the ability to close apps from the right edge spread.

Closing apps from within the spread is about to land with QtCompositor. Dropping the recent apps category from the dash is the very first thing on my todo when that has landed (Currently we don't want to make the QtComp branches any bigger than they already are).
