Just thought I'd put up a few suggestions for the desktop.
These use Global Menu which is useful if the window resizes automatically at times swallowing parts of the menu.
Avant Window Navigator is used in Intellihide mode with transparency as the autohide effect.
Global Menu does not work with Firefox and Openoffice/Libre Office but it is really cool to use.
Trisquel desktop
and
Trisquel2

Hope to most more and more because the usability of desktops is a favourite for me.

Used an alternative layout to make it look more funky.
Hope you all like it.

I also have a Thinkpad R61!

Last night I tried having the panel (Gnome 2.3) be on the left-hand side of the screen instead of the bottom, but it doesn't work very well.

I have always thought, since starting to use GNU/Linux many years ago, that having the panel on the left (or right, but left is probably better) side would make it distinguishable in the same way Windows (bottom) and Mac (top) are. Gnome 2 does a good job having top and bottom but I think most people just confuse that with Mac (and KDE with Windows). Just my two cents.

Anyway I am not too sold on the global menu. I just don't see the point. And from what I've heard it's actually quite confusing in certain situations.

The global menu can be confusing at times, but I kind of like that. It is part of a scheme to make my computer too confusing to operate for everyone else besides me :P

Haha, but we don't want Trisquel to be confusing at all... need more people to use it!

Per default Trisquel has a very good layout for people who are switching from Windows. I'd say it is even easier to get first steps done here, than in Ubuntu (because of the main menu button).
But I just really like playing around with my desktop, at least once a month I'm trying something new out. Now I'm back to the user-friendly default look of Trisquel, but soon I'll make a cryptic mess out of it again.

I really like the first screenshot very cool. Would you be willing to post a mini-tutorial on how you did this "step-by-step"?

For example, something like the following ....

1) Do this ...
2) Then this
3) Etc ....

Thanks :)

It's pretty easy actually:

1) Add the PPA for gnome-globalmenu (can be found at: https://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu) and sudo aptitude install gnome-globalmenu

2)Add a panel at top, add notification applet to it, clock, etc. The final step is to add the globalmenu-applet to it. Then log out and log back in, for the globalmenu to work correctly.

3)sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator

4) Delete the bottom panel, Alt+F2 and start the avant-window-navigator. Make it autostart in the "dock preferences" (accessable by rightclicking on the awn itself).

5) The OP seems to be using default Trisquel themes for everything and the Smoked-theme for the AWN.

that was really really accurate. Guess I need to be more creative to give you something you won't be able to predict.
Nice challenge for me.

I used to have a similar setup myself, so it was no big challenge to figure yours out ;-)

grvrulz, this would look twice as good with the GlobalMenu ;)

Elementary apps dont have a menu. Their whole idea goes to remove the traditional menu and replace it with a menu button, which removes the possibility of using a globalmenu.

Wasn't aware of that, but the terminal on your screenshot still has a normal menu.
