Panel layout

## Software
* Docky
* gnome-panel
* ADeskBar?
* Avant-Window-Navigator
* other alternatives?

## Top panel or not?

+ Creates a static area for indicators
+ Has a browsable application launcher, today.
+ Dark panel looks really fancy
- Wastes alot of space
- Wastes screen edges
- Much of it can be done with docky instead

## Location dock or not?

+ Gives you a good way to quickly access your files
+ Good position for the application browser?
+ Good position for the settings center?
+ Makes the bottom dock strictly a task dock(is that a word?)
- You can find your bookmarks in Marlin easily anyway
- Adds clutter

## Indicators

They are good, but are only compatible with gnome-panel atm. Do we want them in docky?

# Helpers vs. indicators
Can helpers replace indicators?

## Mockups
