I'd also vote for keeping the homescreen in the window strip (or what was the 
official word for it? We definitely need to get our glossary written down 
soon!), for the reasons Marco mentioned: The homescreen should not feel like 
something different from applications (even more so the more we'll be moving 
away from the application concept in general).

Another thing: I'd really like to see the ability to switch back to the last 
window shown when pressing the homescreen-button to the right of the bar again 
after switching to the homescreen. Being able to switch back and forth between 
homescreen and application easily would be pretty nice imo.
