+%description
+Dash to Panel is an icon taskbar for Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash
+into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are
+combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows
+7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited
+applications.
