Considering that it serves a useful purpose even if it temporary and it is not irrelevant crap, it seems it would have fit into the appearance capplet rather than as a separate preferences menu item. It wouldn't bother me much if not for the fact that there is no categorization by default and it is long enough not to fit into my screen completely. That is a very visible item that needs improvement but I suppose the development is focused on GNOME Shell instead. > Also, if you use the switch you are complaining about, your menu > problems will be solved by way of the shell not having menus :-) I am not complaining about the switch itself but the placement of it. Using it btw just gives me a blank desktop and all I can is the desktop background and I have to restart X to get my session back. However gnome-shell --replace on the command line works and the shell still has menus in the side bar even though it seems to missing many application entries. I worked with the shell for a few days, the parts that work are very well done but there are still some obvious problems that make it hard to use it on a more permanent basis. I will keep a tab on it and write up the details if the issues I see linger. I understood from the comments on IRC in response to my post in fedora-test list about GNOME shell that you aren't keen to take bug reports just yet.
