Re: Gnome 3 desktop issues

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <andrew pitonyak org>]

Although I am not over-joyed with many things about the current version 
of Gnome, and there is some truth to what you say, I must say that I 
have received many very helpful responses on this list. I consider it a 
failure that the only way I was able to figure out how to shutdown my 
computer from the GUI was by reading a response on this list. On the 
other hand, I also don't consider the latest version of Gnome to be 
complete. Some of my complaints I expect will be handled as the product 
matures.

I really chuckled about your item (4). That feels so true. "No minimize 
or maximize button for you...... but there is this magic key sequence....."
