[gentoo-user] [OT] gnome-shell is cool (and how to move my current user)

So I've been trying to get around a long-standing bug in gnome-panel with vertical panels and the application list. Some workarounds, patches exist that work, but still a PITA to fix up my own ebuilds to address it. I received a comment on a bug tracker that gnome-panel likely will be deprecated i
