Hi All,
Without dissing or criticizing gnome3, I must say
I have nothing but problems with using it.
For example, selecting the Gnome, or the Classic Gnome
desktop manager, I can no longer see the desktop in other
workspaces that I created, except workspace 1.
Viewing the desktop in a window (as compared on the workspace)
does not cut it for me...
Starting apps always start in workspace 1, even though
I select the app from Applications drop down menu in
some other workspace.
I am unable to change the position of the Applications
toolbar to the left vertical position, and the currently
running apps toolbar to the right vertical position.
I am unable to create new gnome launch icons on the
desktop (or at least, I have not figured out how). Right click
on desktop has no effect.
I am unable to add new icons of apps to the menu bar for quick launch.

And finally, on my HW (AMD Athlon64 3200+)) platform,
the response time with F16 is so horribly slow, that F14 practically
appeared to respond like lightning - albeit I have had much
faster response time on older Fedora releases (such as F7 and F8),
on this same HW.

In short, I think I will have to dump F16, and switch back to
F14 or switch to a completely different distro that has not switched to
gnome3.

Thanx for all the good and the bad times :)


Have you tried running in Fallback mode? I find it perfectly usable in that mode.

I ran preupgrade today from 15 -> 16 & apart from a twenty minute stall at selinux-targeted-policy during the upgrade it went without a hitch & 16 is far snappier than 15 & boots a lot quicker.

The most surprising thing of all is that the upgrade was carried out on an old IBM ThinkPad T42 with 1GB of RAM & in fallback it's flying along & I see none of the problems you're describing.

I hope you get it sorted. I did run the KDE Live CD before upgrading but decided to stick with Gnome albeit without the visual bells & whistles.

Cheers,

  Phil...
