Re: GNOME 3 from Fedora user's perpective - request for changes

["G. Michael Carter" <mikey carterfamily ca>]

Just wanted to add my two cents for what it's worth.

My first look at Gnome-Shell was I thought it was a piece of crap.   Good for those who have never used a computer or have a touch screen but utterly useless to a tech like me who spends most of his time in several terminal windows.   (The sometimes 5-10 second delay to bring up the overview page, after the systems been running for a few hours, didn't help... )

But then I realized Gnome 3.0 is more like Gnome-Shell 1.0.   All the cool 3rd party stuff we've been using for Gnome 2.x just hasn't caught up yet. I dare say soon after (or maybe before) F15 release we're going to see a pile of extensions.

With my user community I've got a split from the non-techical users.   My mother told me, to tell you guys to stop mucking with what works and change it back.   Where my wife says she loves it.  She finds it much better than the clunky gnome 2.x

With this in mind it might be helpful to be able to select the fallback screen as a default for those who just aren't ready to take the plunge.
