Now it seems to me that we would implement "Home key for both" approach and also will release two optional packages which will include Statusbar and Navigator applets for the launcher. Thanks to D-Bus support these applets could be optional parts and are pretty trivial.

I don't like idea with tapping on background to run launcher too because it doesn't allow running launcher to be automated in your fingers. I mean it makes you think on where you should tap to hit the background and not hit one of window thumbnails (which can change their positions depending of number of windows opened).

Some sort of softkey in topleft corner inside telescope is good for Diablo5 theme, even more if this softkey will look same as topleft corner button on desktop (which in this case will fully mimic Fremantle). But for classic themes, it would be not so logical, i think.

As far as i know, it is possible to have one of hildon statusbar applets on topleft position and if it really so (need to ask Kroll about this), we can craft the statusbar applet that will implement the desired behavior.


Thanks all for your suggestions! Please keep up!
