Description Ferry Huberts 2013-04-24 08:35:49 UTC
On F19-alpha: gnome-shell-3.8.0.1-2.fc19.x86_64

I have a 2-screen setup.
I just opened up rhythmbox fullscreen on the non-primary screen (the one without the top bar) and also opened up firefox fullscreen on the primary screen.

Accessing the application menu (in the top bar) now becomes quite a challenge (I have focus follows mouse):
- I have to make sure rhythmbox is focussed
- I now have to aim my mouse travel into the top bar such that I do not by accident focus firefox


Some remarks about this:
- The application menu is located on the OTHER screen than where the application is running. This is a major 'context' violation w.r.t. cognitive ergonomics.
- The mouse travel is way too far and way too delicate

Proposal:
- Make the application context accessible from the 'right-click on window top bar'
