Gnome3 on my laptop slows to a halt sometimes, looks like the memory is too low, I _only_ have 1GB, and the CPU is not too fast. With the 3D acceleration enabled too, I have not disabled that yet, it makes things worse. Maybe I'll try XFCE and happily forget about gnome3 after that (but it would be a shame to give up so easily). On all computers I have I have not upgraded fully to gnome3, except the laptop, and now when the fallback solution is gone, what to do?? > GNOME3 certainly *increased* by user satisfaction.

The gnome system monitor is too heavy weight, I want some performance indicators (network, memory, cpu, swapping, etc) on the top or bottom window list, not something I have to switch to to be able to see anything (I already use xosview for that). > > * An application does not provide the luxery of an explicit download > > speed display. > > The gnome-system-monitor seems adequate for answering that question. See above, can I have it displayed on the window list? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
