W.r.t. global shortcuts, there's no clear winner (or is there?) For example, I have 2 apps running on my desktop, and both have Ctrl+PgDown shortcut. What happens of that? Also, if I have a gnome-term (or xterm or Konsole) and within it another app running, whose keyboard shortcuts are in priority? Messy affair! Seriously.

There's an option "Make search faster" which indexes, I have heard. Never tried it, though. And Google Desktop took a while to index files, if I'm not wrong. Windows 7 magically had everything indexed.(or atleast the folder on some remote drive I searched) @Devendra: It sure is amazing how an OS with “minimum hardware requirements” same as Vista can run on netbooks, no?
