Fedora Wants Your Help To Improve GNOME's Hell

They don't even want to listen those who don't like it in the current form.

I know it's hard, but it'd be great if people could avoid turning this into yet another 'GNOME 3 is great / GNOME 3 sucks' thread. This is a test day. Test days aren't about huge philosophical changes, they're about taking something and looking for specific bugs and fixing those.

The one who described them like interface nazis is a genius.

We did, some of them got backported to 3.2.2.1 though ... which version are you using?
Also do you see any leaks without the extensions?

I'm running 3.2.2.1. My system is fully up to date.

My extensions are: ['[email protected]', 'temperature@xtranophilist', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'].

I shall try it without extensions but I find gnome 3.x not really usable without some extensions.

Two things that bug me about the whole "hot corner" concept:

I usually have several applications open at once and I change between those quite frequently. Having no constantly visible task bar really slows me down. I know there are keyboard shortcuts but I'm mostly "either/or". I use either the mouse or the keyboard and I dislike constantly having to switch between both.

On top of that I use a graphics tablet instead of a mouse which makes it really difficult to hit the hot corners. With a mouse you can just keep pushing and you'll hit the corner eventually. With a pen you've got to hit the corner exactly or you'll either leave the tablet's sensitive area or you get your pointer stuck close to but not quite on the hot corner.

With all that said, I'd really like the option to go back to a "traditional" taskbar.

I would love it if they did some work on memory leaks.

Memory leaks

I would love it if they did some work on memory leaks. My pc usually doesn't reboot more then once a week (or less) and gnome-shell is eating memory. If I simple restart the gnome-shell, memory usage drops. I have to restart gnome-shell once every 4-5 days or it eats all my memory ( > 2 GB is not an exception ). I run F16 with some extensions.

alazar: um, nautilus *does* have a sidebar in GNOME 3. I see it in both F16 and F17. With favourites.

Does FC17 support the VMware gallium driver? I guess there's two ways for me to find out, either read the release documentation or Leroy Jenkins!!!!!

I was about to write a scathing flame about how this

The radeon driver has no egregious artifacts on my setup, but seems to eat CPU like candy if another app actually tries to render a big window at 60 fps.

still hasn't been fixed (considering the underlying bug's apparently been around since F15), but then I decided to actually check. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Beefy Miracle, I guess.

#1 Forget about tablets and other such touch devices. Create a whole new interface for those devices, instead of trying to butcher Gnome to fit that purpose.
#2 Look at what Mint has done. A taskbar is a must.
#3 Don't be afraid to make it work like Gnome 2.
