Regarding the points mentioned: If one pushes the activity button there actually is something with the functionality of a menu you can even easily search all the apps - just start typing! At least for me there is some sort of panel on the right which works exactly as the windows 7 panel same apps are grouped, a new icon for every app opened, possibility to make them stay even if closed. - No Idea wether this is the default. The only things that I miss is the functionality of my tiling wm. but those were not in gnome 2.3 either. Regarding your concerns about upgrading - just try the live cd! As a "power" unixer you should be able to enable 3d in a live cd ;) best _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
