If you have so incredibly poor focus, how do you do all these things? ;-) I think you're being overly modest - you sound more like a very capable guy than a person with poor focus to me. Gnome 2/3 notwithstanding. In terms of various notifications, obviously, I have no idea what kind of things you're logged into daily and what kind of apps you have open. In any event, I do not see how this is in any way related to usefulness/uselessness of overview. You should be able turn notification off with or without overview - that is not in question. Ditto any kind of taskbar (although I do not see why you'd want that - it is usually an app you've opened yourself that's asking for input). The fact that some apps nudge the taskbar when they have a new message instead of using notifications is just a bug. Not one person that is happy with Gnome 3 has been able to explain to me why overview is _required_ for any of these things to work. In the absence of that and believe me, with all due respect, I do not see why I have to go through two view switches and expose animation just to start an app. -- Bojan -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
