It took a bit of rethinking to accept the new desktop. I think it will be the same process for Gnome 2 to Gnome 3. I can make Gnome 3 work for me without avant-window-navigator, but I've come to like the Mac look and feel (and the eye candy of the dock). The functionality is still there, for the most part, in Gnome 3, but it's in different places. Here's a screenshot: http://www.sterndata.com/content/gnome-3-and-awn-new-desktop Gnome 3 is still a work in progress, so <underline>as Fedora users</underline> interested in being on the leading edge, it behooves us to try the new stuff and provide <very bold>constructive and useful feedback<back to normal> feedback about how it's going for us. -- -- Steve -- 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
