Description Christian Göbel 2011-02-05 16:50:45 UTC 
In Gnome-Shell their are (currently) two different views: Windows and Applications. 

The current behaviour, when clicking on Activities for the first time, is to always start to show the Windows-view. 
This is not always meaningful, since when clicking on Activities for the first time, than in most of the cases their are no Windows(with applications) running. 

Expected behaviour: 
- If there are no Applications(Windows) running in the Gnome-shell, then clicking on Activities should directly lead to the "Applications-view". 
- In all other cases (at least on Application(Window) running) then clicking on Activities should lead to the "Windows-view".
Comment 1 Florent Thévenet 2011-03-05 10:17:58 UTC 
I completely agree with that,
What's more when there's no window opened, Gnome-Shell should automatically enter Overview/Application-View so the user don't need to click on "Activities" and can launch an application immediately.
