Re: All GNOME Shell Developers.

[Samuel Arthur Wright Illingworth <mazz0 mazz0 com>]

I'm currently at work where I use Compiz for workspace switching (Cube or Wall, I love them both), and I just found myself /really/ wanting to quickly open a new workspace, which unfortunately is quite a task in Compiz, unless I write a script for it.  So I thought I'd come here and cheer people up by pointing out a Shell feature that's missing in other systems, and I read a comment saying people who use multiple workspaces want static ones, not dynamic ones.  Well, I have to say, I've just found myself very much wanting dynamic ones!

I do have a few other examples where the current GNOME-Shell would fail;

FIrefox and it's separate download window.

GIMP and it's multiple windows.

MPlayer

A Dock is impractical here, as all of them are currently incapable of showing me what's in the window. Unless we either have the classic way of managing windows, someone gets them to be all grouped toghter, or distributions start replacing GIMP with GIMPShop and Firefox with an embedded download window...
There needs to be some level of window management in an activites window, and not just in the overlay.

I like the gnome-shell, and yes its very easy to get used to. One
idea/problem, could someone make it possibe to change in what corner
you want the "zoom" to be? I have this annoying habit of pushing the
pointer top-left everytime I'm typing something. I'd like my zoom to
be bottom left.

person's impressions and then saying the whole idea sucks makes a lousy
argument against the gnome-shell concept.

Few weeks to get comfortable? Man, are you crazy?
It's too long and only proves the gnome-shell idea sucks.

It's actually more useful to someone with only one workspace because
     

they tend to have even more overlapping windows.

It only needs one click to switch windows anyway.  The top left corner
is a big target you can do a very approximate gesture to trigger the
zoom without clicking.

After a while it becomes second nature and I was surprised that it
feels very old fashioned to go back to a flat desktop.

Try Docky if you find the transition uncomfortable but it only takes a
few weeks.

Hey all.

I've been watching GNOME Shell for a while, but there is one problem
         

that I
       

really can't see being resolved.

How useful is this to someone who uses one desktop? Just one?
Never-mind
         

the
       

other one, or three, or four...

Why should I, the user, have to perform three extra clicks just to do
         

what
       

it takes me one to do now?

There has been less video/photo material to consume then I could safely
         

make
       

a judgement on, and if the 'one desktop' problem has been addressed and
solved, I apologize for taking up your time.
