It might not be the end-all for >everyone yet, but that is why there is a fallback option in 3.0 and a >3.2 in September, followed by 3.4 and so on. I use Gnome 2.32.0 on Fedora 14, x86_64. I have deliberately not upgraded to Fedora 15 because of all the comments about Gnome 3.0. But I will have to upgrade in a few months, as Fedora will not support 14 once Fedora 16 is out. I am very fussy about what my desktop looks like, and for a reason. I have a mental problem with distractions. Therefore, my desktop is utterly blank - a solid light color with no icons anywhere, not even wallpaper. I use only the panel on the top. Over years of using computers I have come to dislike icons. I did try a live CD of Fedora 15, and found it impossible to concentrate on any tasks because of the constant background clutter. Unfortunately, being a live CD it was impossible to change the appearance of the desktop - evidently changes must be written to disk and you can't do that with a live CD. So I am very interested in whether it is possible to configure Gnome 3 to have no icons on the desktop, not even for launching applications, and a solid light color wallpaper. Failing that I would like to know about the "fallback option" quoted above. What exactly is the "fallback option"? Would it allow me the same configuration in Gnome 3 that I have with 2.32.0? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
