Why not using a single pane like before and display shared notebooks with a different color? That way, we could use the new stacks feature with shared notebooks as well. Probably most people will stack notebooks according to which kind of business the notebook belongs, aka private, friends, company etc. And in most cases it is secondary, whether a notebook inside a stack is shared or not. So this separation of shared from non-shared notebooks is counteracting the usefulness of the new stacks feature.
Furthermore it would be easier to sort notes into different notebooks, if you don't have to switch between panes.
The only reason, why you present shared notebooks completely separate form non-shared notebooks might be because shared notebooks are handled differently within the database. But frankly it should be possible to hide this from the user interface. At least allow the user to create some kind of alias of a shared notebook to use within the stacks of the first pane. But as I said, I'd prefer to get rid of the second pane and just work with a different color for shared notebooks.
If someone really needs to keep shared notebooks separate from non-shared, like it is now, he could do this easily with a single pane as well by grouping all shared notebooks within a single stack.
Hope you rethink this 2 pane interface before the client leaves beta stage.
