Yes. > What windows manager do you use? I > suspect the default, but not everybody knows what the default for wheezy > is. At least I don't know. "update-alternatives --config x-window-manager" says I am using Metacity, and that's the only installed windows-manager. Maybe Metacity is the place to force a 2D desktop, but finding the configuration is not easy. No config file and nothing in gconf-editor. I found that they both switched to gsettings and dconf: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration "dconf-editor" can do the configuration, in "org | gnome". But, nothing about 2D there... I was a bit confused about "Mutter". That's Metacity + clutter. There are some packages installed like "mutter-common", so I found some settings in dconf-editor about it. But the package with the binaries ("mutter") is not installed. > I don't have any issue using squeeze, but on Arch (a rolling release = > always upgraded to latest version) for Xfce4 for example (no 3D windows > manager), Evolution has a borked color theme, perhaps such effects > encounter for Debian testing now too. > The freedom to use what ever DE, with what ever apps on Linux is bygone. > GNOME 3 stuff does follow a little bit the MS/Apple approach :p. Is here somebody who knows how to force a 2D desktop?
