That's exactly my problem with gnome3 in a sentence. I don't hate gnome-shell as an interface, I hate it because some important (to me) stuff is missing and if it's possible to get the missing stuff back, I don't know how to do it. The gnome3 devs may intend to restore the missing stuff at some point, but I don't know, and meanwhile I'm frustrated and my attitude is deteriorating. Heh. I should just go back to gentoo stable and keep using gnome2 for a year until I'm ready to be frustrated again -- as I surely will be soon enough.
