Re: Disliking gnome 3

[Nick Glynn <exosyst gmail com>]

Hey Ben,

Gnome 2 hasn't gone anywhere. It's not been taken away. It's just not under active development by the Gnome Foundation any more though I believe some people are working on a fork at http://matsusoft.com.ar/redmine/projects/mate if that's of interest.

I doubt any future Fedora releases will sate your requests as they tend to track upstream Gnome but, as that's a distribution choice, you may be better off emailing the Fedora Desktop List at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop 

Hope that helps,
Nick

I couldn't find a better place to voice my displeasure of Gnome 3,
so I'm posting here.

I really just want gnome-2 back.  Fallback mode sort of works, but its
still not as good as gnome 2 was.  I do work on my computer, not just
open one or two windows and browse the web.  I want one-click to open
new Terminals.  I want to drag the Terminal icon into the top task bar
to accomplish that.  Right-click should work without having to press
Alt.  I want the bottom task dock or whatever it's called so I can easily select
from the multitude of windows I have on my desktop.

Please have a one-click (or very few clicks) option to get the old
gnome-2 interface back.  If you want to have a new way of doing things,
that's fine too, but please don't break the old ways of doing things
so badly.

I'm downgrading to Fedora 14 for now..hope things clear up by
F16 or F17.

Thanks,
Ben
