Another Ubuntu Interface refinement

[zvi]

Heads Up Display will be coming to Precise Pangolin.

From what I can tell, it's similar to gnome-do or Quicksilver, but even more entangled with what we normally think of as menu functions.

Thoughts, reactions, screams of panic and horror? Either yours or that you care to link to in the comments?

As a heavy netbook user, I really like the emphasis on maximizing usable screen space. (Now if only Google wasn't moving in the opposite direction...)

However, there are times I don't know the name of the function I want, but I know what category of functions it belongs with. For those times, and for the times I just want to explore the program's command options, I'll still want the old-style menus. As long as those are still available to "switch on" when I need them, I'm content... and it sounds like they will be.
