Then trying out .0 release on those users is risky. It seems you did the 
right thing and only tested with 3 or 4 users.

You have a few ways to go about this. The first one would be to record 
those test cases and raise the issue (nicely - the GNOME community tend 
to prefer nice conversations) here.

You do not need to upgrade all those users until GNOME 3.x works in a 
way that satisfy them. I will agree with Olav that stating "a lot of 
poeple will not like it" doesn't work well as a feedback and nor give us 
enough information to incorporate your specific test case.

So yes it is some work, but innovating in free software and on the 
desktop is as well. While we (free software developers) tend to be 
labeled as copycats for once there is a project that dares to try new 
ways of doing things. I think it is very good for free software (my 
personal opinion) and the GNOME project.

Now we need users feedback to fine tune all those little remaining glitches.

Thank you.
