GNOME2 will be gone, GNOME3 will be present, and the fallback mode has been renamed "GNOME classic" and is available as a desktop session (that is, you can select it from the login prompt). So, if you can customize the fallback/classic mode to your tastes, which may involve writing or using extensions, great. If not, you could consider one of the other desktop environments in Debian, or you could use the 3rd party "MATE" packages which are a fork of the GNOME2 codebase. There's some chance that MATE will be officially packaged in Debian for the release after next, but not for wheezy. Finally, there's another effort called "Cinnamon" which tries to give a GNOME2-like experience on top of GNOME3 technology, again that is not packaged officially for the next release of Debian, but is available third party, and might be in the release after next. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
