Hi,
I am using Fedora Core 15 and am not happy with the new shell.
I don't wish to start a flamewar so I'm not going to list any points

Please don't worry on my account - my fingers tend to write whole

I don't think this will change anyone's mind and I hope that it is not
annoying but I think it might be worth a read:

The whole problem sort of comes from the fact that the idea of an
"Application" is an oddity.
What we really have are objects in the users' perspective - web pages of
streams of commands in a terminal or documents in an editor. Thinking about
"Applications" gets in the way of seeing the problem -
I like the fact that people cannot fail to know that workspaces exist
when they see this - i.e. it's not a hidden capability or one that
requires a person to interpret the meaning of some odd little diagram.

Tim
