I meant exactly that because that's exactly the experience I had with GNOME3 shell. I never got to the point of typing *anything* since I couldn't get it to open an application. After 15 years I've seen just about everything in the Linux desktop environment. > FYI, if you press Alt along with clicking on the panel, you get a menu > to make changes, Now *that's* intuitive. Rolls eyes at the GNOME "designers". If the GNOMEies wanted a phone interface, fine. There is no sane reason it must be forced on _everyone_ who wants to use GNOME3 (fallback as it currently exists is not an option either). Much to their chagrin, there are alternatives. Perhaps sanity will reign and someone will port GNOME2 panel to GTK3 and keep the Linux desktop viable. If not, such viability will rest on the shoulders of the XFCE and LXDE developers. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
