Oh I'm with you.  Any initial problem I had with Gnome 3 is now a
distant memory.  I don't miss the task bar anymore.  I've been totally
going with the Gnome 3 "flow" for many days now.

Sometimes I'll touch the Super key, other times when my hands are off
the keyboard anyway I'll shove the mouse hard upper-left.  Sometimes
I'll use Alt-Tab or Alt-`.  I'm getting a whole new muscle memory now.

I did however swap the functions of Alt-Tab and Alt-`, as I mentioned in
an earlier email.  That's really the only tweak I've done, and I only
did that because I've had *years* of habituation using Alt-Tab to switch
between two Terminal windows in which I'm editing or running code.
Breaking that habit and remembering to use Alt-` instead was taking too
much time, and bugging me when I got it wrong, and I have work to do.  I
may later undo that tweak and force myself to learn the new way, just
not right now.
