I don't want "exact GNOME 2 experience".  But I thought the whole
point of Gnome 3 Classic Mode was to provide something with basically
the same functionality.

As I understand it, Classic Mode basically is a set of extensions.  If
it's intended to provide functionality similar to Gnome 2, shouldn't
it include the extensions necessary to do that?

Not that it's Fedora's problem, but I wonder what reaction there will
be from RHEL7 customers who have been told that Gnome 3 Classic Mode
will give them a traditional desktop, when they discover that it does
so only very superficially?

Anyhow, I wasn't trying to start another Gnome 3 flame war.  I just
thought that I must be doing something stupid if I couldn't get
Classic Mode to act more or less like Gnome 2.  Obviously what was
stupid was my expectation that it would be similar.

I'll switch back to MATE.
