well, your blog entry sounds like gnome applets never existed

   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-applets/

but they did exist and were part of gnome core.

i understand it is in context of gnome sensors, but...

don't get me wrong, i really get your post and understand the
need of transition time, but please take into account that
people miss a lot of functionality, configurability and are facing
a lot of very frustrating bugs (message tray is a joke) with quite
bad communication process on gnome side[1].

It's a major release: we broke a lot of stuff to clean our desktop up. 3.2 should be a lot better.

Can you tell me certain frustrations with the message tray?

- is gnome applets to be part of gnome 3.2? - who knows?

Well, this is a bit trickier than Adam described: GNOME3 also has a fallback mode that uses updated versions of gnome-panel and libpanelapplets and gnome-applets. These updated versions drop the dependencies like Bonobo (and maybe CORBA/ORBit, dunno) so we don't have to waste space on the install media.
 

- can we update the faq with info about the intel cards? - no, it's pointless...

Feel free to update it with the two pieces of hardware, it's a wiki!
 

- can i configure this or that? would be a patch accepted? - no answers. 

If there's no concrete question, there's no concrete answer!
 

- i cannot shutdown, why? - we are tired of this question.

I'm tired of it too...
