Usually when I install GNOME2 the first thing I do is turn most of those things off.
When GNOME3 came out, I thought they had read my mind. I use extensions to get rid of a few more icons on the top panel. I patched so it doesn't show the time (if the time is shown on the desktop, I find I'm constantly looking at the time which is also distracting (for the same reason I don't wear a watch))[2]. So I like to keep things simple, and for most-used apps I use keyboard shortcuts. Works for me. If you want icons on the desktop, etc. There are extensions and config settings to enable that in GNOME3. gnome-tweak-tool is your friend. I don't use fallback mode. The gnome-shell is (almost) exactly what I want. [1] http://ompldr.org/vYmp4OA [2] http://ompldr.org/vYmp4YQ
