Something seems seriously wrong here but I suspect that you would have been able to fix it by just launching the Network Connections program which is in the default install. This is the nm-connection-editor that you already know and love. It's in the default applications list. This is the first report I can recall of this type, though, so it's likely something specific to your setup. Details would help. > Gnome screen saver's config panel is no where to > be found.

We suspected that power users would use the CTRL-ALT-ARROW key combo. The mouse to workspaces behavior is a function of solving the long-standing "where did all my windows go after I clicked this arbitrary part of the panel?" problem and also to make it an intuitively discoverable feature for new users. >There are no applets to be found. Yes, and there will not be any allowed unless they are provided via a user-installed extension. We do not want third-party applications putting stuff in the panel. The top panel is a safe harbor, now. > The desktop is bare, Right, the "icons behind a bunch of overlapping windows" paradigm was painful; we can and will do better with the finding-and-reminding work scheduled for 3.2. > unless you use an the Gtweakui program to hack it.

Right, because a power user tweak program is a bad thing to present to new users on a default install. > The option to > use the "classic style" is a lie.

I suspect that you'll find that it's almost entirely like GNOME 2.x. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
