917: Task Bar

918: File search capability from within file manager.

919: The "up directory" button in Nautilus that went away with 3.6! It's like an Apple device now with no easy ability to go up just one level (incredibly useful for servers etc.)

921: keyboard access

922: Taskbar, Menus,

923: Gnome Panel, Nautilus address bar, task bar

958: The GNOME 3 plumbing, Cinnamon relies on it.

962: Gnome 2 weather applet with radar

976: large, easy to see icons, easy to navigate application menus

977: do not know

978: the windows/apps overlay; Nautilus split view

979: configuration options

980: go away: current app menu, captions next to tray icons, evolution to do list in calendar (if i don't use evolution); rely on: activities, shell searh, network-manager openvpn hosts

981: none, using xfce and unity now

982: nautilus twin panel

983: desktop view and interaction (when you touch by mouse 'application' corner)
