The devs obviously have an ideas of what they'd like to do, and won't bend to the wind every time someone complains. You have to do some compelling convincing to change developers' minds. Most people here are complaining about a ".0" release, which they haven't even tried. I expect many of the rough edges of gnome-shell 3.0 will be fixed quickly. For example - the hide-the-poweroff-button-by-default idea will apparently die (yay!): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643457#c28 Reading that bugzilla entry sounds a lot like a developer changing his mind in response to feedback, no? - Mike -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
