It was a design decision in Gnome 3 (aka Gnome Shell) that involves some controversy. There are many many threads filled with lots of debate about it. If you want to know more, mine the mailing list archives. There are substitute methods to work with the desktop that require some adaptation of your work-flow (dragging windows the the edges of the screen, using overview mode with the hot corner, abandoning a desktop background with stuff on it). But the long and short of it is, if you want the buttons (and more) back, just install gnome-tweak-tool and pick the right options to re-enable them. /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
