As long as rpm -qa | grep gnome-shell doesn't have to return a package name i'll keep using it. I love gnome but I don't like gnome-shell.

A little more contrast wouldn't hurt either, gray-on-dark doesn't really work.
This is the first time I've actually seen a useful use for the Windows button.
What to open up your web browser quickly without using the mouse?
<windows key>
type: browser
down-arrow to select
return key to launch
If they integrate things like chat logs, emails, and recently visited websites into the search results then that would be _FANTASTIC_.
I'm still not convinced about gnome-shell. I can see the merits of the design, but the current implementation leaves too much to be desired. Can the devs really clean this up in time for an October launch?

I'm sorry but Clearlooks and the former KDE default Plastik are just ugly.

If you don't like GNOME Shell or your hardware is old, you can continue running the older GNOME Panel which will be a alternative session that will continue to be available.

Am I the only one who prefers spatial mode?
It seems to make more sense and was way cleaner in interface.
But I will not complain about it too much as its just a simple change to return to spatial mode (which btw all the people complaining about it could also use).

But whatever. Every distro (IIRC except Fedora) always enabled browser mode by default anyway.

No thanks. Plasma and Dolphin for me.
