Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-shell
There should be a mode where you can choose to have the "activities"
menu overlay the desktop, i.e. it shouldn't make the desktop wallpaper
shrink, maybe make it a somewhat transparent overlay over the wallpaper.
The reason I think something like this is really necessary is that too
many things are moving, popping up, popping down when using gnome-shell.
Too many things zoom, re-adjust, compare with the side-bar there as
well. This is annoying for many users and can easily cause headaches
when you are not used to it.
So I really think there should be a "fewer-movements-and-more-stable-
windows-mode" for gnome-shell. That's why I would propose something like
an activities menu that doesn't make the wallpaper shrink but is just an
overlay, kind of like a dock that pops up and hides without changing
geometry of the rest of the screen.
