So they should.

But I find it just a TINY bit exasperating that Gnome 3 has been
be foisted on the world when it is known that the drivers necessary
to appreciate it are not available and won't be available soon
(nouveau/radeon). And that the interaction of Gnome 3 with the
proprietary drivers hasn't been checked (so that you can still
run Gnome 3 if nouveau/radeon does not work or works badly).

I am getting just a little bit too old to chase after every
problem. I now want things to just work :-)
