The GNOME team expressly does not want to maintain a 'classic' interface alongside the new interface for refuseniks, in much the same way as the KDE team did not want to burden themselves with maintaining KDE 3 alongside KDE 4. As drago01 said, the fallback mode is intended _only_ to cope with cases where the Shell actually cannot run. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
