You seem to have misunderstood something. It is not the stated goal of GNOME 3 to target "smart devices" with the GNOME Shell UI and that's the not the rationale behind the design Here are the design documents http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design Here is a quote from the release manager http://geekybodhi.net/habari/interview-with-vincent-untz-at-gnome-asia-summit-2011 "KDE has a different user interface for the netbook and a normal desktop. We don't think it's necessary. But if you go to other sizes such as tablets or mobile phones obviously that's not the current target of Gnome. We are not working actively on porting Gnome to those devices" Rahul -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
