Re: Very disappointed in Gnome 3

My only experience is with Gnome 3 on Fedora 15.  My graphics card is a 
Radeon 4670.  When I first installed Fedora 15, it was random whether 
the Gnome 3 screen would come up readable, or as an unreadable jumble of 
colors.  [If the latter, I would log out and log back in again. 
Eventually a readable Gnome 3 screen would be presented.]

I tried installing the proprietary ATI drivers -- the result with Gnome 
3 was a multi-stripe top bar.  Plus the icon thumbnails within the Gnome 
3 launch screen got shown as a jumble of colors.

So I un-installed the proprietary drivers.  And behold - Gnome 3 is now 
being rendered correctly.  There is no xorg.conf file;  System info 
shows the driver as Gallium 0.4

My point :  I had to run around in circles to get Gnome 3 to work 
"correctly" in my system.
