I did all of that (plus I've got the menus at the top of the screen)
but I'm still pissed off, since much of the panel (and other basic
gnom/metacity) functionality is still missing.
For example, the absence of the workspace switcher/indicator may seem
trivial, but I use cursor keys for workspace switching and one of
those keys is broken on my laptop, so mouse-pointing on the switcher
would be a handy backup.

I'm glad it's not only me who thinks the performance is poor.

Frankly it's killing my wrists, i.e. having to correct and repeat
because the keystroke hasn't registered or the focus hasn't yet moved
to where I sent it.
