“If in our Ubuntu Netbook Remix optimization guide we talked
about replacing Window-picker-applet with Namebar, this time we’re
going to use Window Applets. Why? Well, because you can place the
minimize-maximize-close buttons wherever you want on the panel,
without the window title. We don’t need a window title because
that’s included into Global Menu (step 1). For the window switcher
we’re going to stick with DockBarX but you can use Talika instead
if you want.

“To install Window Applets, download the .deb from HERE, then
install it, right click on the panel and select “Add to panel” and
add “Window buttons”, then place it wherever you want in the panel
– I set mine to the left but you can of course place it on the
right, next to the Session Indicator.”
