Comment:

 I'm not sure if this is getting fixed in Update.1, as the ticket still
 suggests (maybe change the ticket milestone if this needs to slip?), but I
 wanted to add my feedback incase it encourages someone in the team to make
 this patch (add the 4 arrows and remove the sticky frame for Home).

 The permanently visible frame on Home an uncomfortable/misleading
 behaviour, especially with the bug that causes it to be sometimes sticky
 and sometimes not, depending on how you switch to Home. It also leads me
 into a couple of bad sugar HCI behaviours:

  * I keep catching my self switching back to the Home screen to start a
 new activity, even though the frame is available everywhere

  * With the frame always visible at Home, I often start new unnecessary
 activities from the frame, when I really should be switching to the
 Journal and resuming (this leads to Journal bloat)
