No, but seriously, Gnome3 is irritating. To have to click on Activities to change and repaint the whole screen, and then select the category of an item you want (if you have not added it to your favorites), then click on it, then repaint the screen again. And the screen real estate for the Activities text does nothing else. Nothing. You can't even right click on it. You also can't right click on the "desktop menu items" and bring up their properties. Can't copy and edit them (I like that for rdesktop and other commands that have parameters). No, you have to find the old MainMenu utility and create an item in the non-existent menu so it will show up. Maybe there is another way, but it ain't intuitive. What's with no right clicks? Only one mouse button? Instead of Unix's 3 buttons? Is this a lowest common denominator solution for someone who installs Linux on a Mac? I have been using Gnome3 for over 3 weeks now. I tried adding AWN. Tweaking different parameters. It is STILL annoying. And SLOOOOWWWWW. There is a reason why menus have been around so long. So yeah, I guess I think the Gnome guys fumbled the ball. I liked Gnome2. Mostly I liked all the nice GUI utilities built on top of it. And now I am not sure what I am going to do. > It was only a change, no innovation ..... > > http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/76280/ > > -- 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
