Gnome 3, which is used by Fedora 15, no longer displays desktop icons by default. You can re-enable them with gnome-tweak-tool if you want. > Plus i had a number of icons on the top toolbar, like a few > applications to start and a temperature display, and they are all > gone. In F14, I knew how to add things, but I don't know in F15. Gnome 3 does not support the same kinds of panel applets as Gnome 2 did. The new extensions system is far more capable; however, equivalents to most extensions have not yet been developed for it. There are a few extensions included in Fedora, mostly to enable some old-style behavior (such as the old window-based alt-tab switcher). You can also search around for extensions to do other things; I found, for instance, the Weather extension here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/gnome-shell-weather-extension.html > Help!

Gnome 3 brings along substantial changes, and some things that had been developed for Gnome 2 have not yet been updated/rewritten, or their functionality has been subsumed elsewhere. Also, Gnome 3 is designed to have fewer gadgets on the screen, preferring a model where you focus on the application(s) you are using and the sysem (mostly) takes care of itself. If you do not like this model, other environments such as KDE and Xfce (both available in Fedora) still provide a user experience more similar to the one you had with the old version of Gnome. - Michael -- 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
