Upstream a long time ago does switch from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3. Many users were annoyed, but upstream wasn't interested. Not only that GNOME does kill the workflow, it also e.g. add a hard dependency to pulseaudio. You are much to late. Lamenting now is useless. If all would have written to upstream a long time ago, we perhaps could have stopped those changes. There's nothing wrong with running an outdated Debian, but users still should take care what happens upstream and contribute at least with an opinion _before it's to late_! Using another distro won't help you regarding to your GNOME issue. Most other distros are much closer o upstream than Debian is, so they switched from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 a long time before Debian did. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ralf Mardorf To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: what happened to the task bar??

Perhaps you'd like MATE, which is a fork of GNOME 2. Many of us switched to Xfce or LXDE. Xfce is a little bit closer to GNOME 2 than LXDE is, but both are ok. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
