Thank you, but I'll pass. I have since found that the magic incantation in fallback mode is to use ALT when right clicking on the Gnome-Panel will give me all the old options like adding things, moving things, etc. Now all I need to discover is how to change the system theme to not be what appears to be "black on black" so I can get the colors correct. Then Fallback mode may just be usable. Let Gnome3 simmer for a few releases to see if all the pointy edges (read: painful changes) get fixed. Oh, and I don't do a "Windows" key. My keyboard was made in Feb.1988 for a PC-XT, and has been upgraded to PS/2 or USB as needed. I like the IBM Model-M "clicky" keys, and the idea that it's built solid enough to deflect bullets. (a little bit anyway... B^) BTW- How would "gnome-shell-extensions-auto-move-windows" handle that I want a different Firefox window in practically all of my workspaces, and I want the same Pidgin to show up the "current" workspace, and follow me around? And if I want Thunderbird in workspace #4 before setting up magic workspaces 2 and 3? -- Chris Kloiber -- 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
