I'd really like to work with Gnome Classic, but as said, I want a modern window manager. Taskbars are dead!
Today I managed to start the plain old gnome-panel in Gnome Shell. This gives a global menu and the notification indicators on top of gnome shell.
I installed gnome shell extensions that hide the top bar and move the "show overview" hotcorner to the bottom left.
This works really greate so far, except for one time where gnome-panel crashed.
The last remaining wishes are:
* Add a workspace switcher/pager to my second monitor
* Add a shadow to the gnome panel (this can easily be done with compiz, but with mutter?
@Gosset Inofensiu: maybe you can launch gnome-panel above unity too. This could retain the unity dash and HUD functionality but hide the top panel. Then hide the launcher and you're fine
@sondraparkin: I did a quick google search and it seems that OpenBox doesn't support the features I want.
