I think I like it on the laptop, here the keyboard-oriented usage makes more sense to me than on the desktop where I have a real mouse. I will keep it that way and see how I like it. Decided to migrate my main workstation as well. Clean cut. And fits the change of hardware somehow ;-) Looks good so far. So I might remove all that compiz-related stuff now ... and look how to run hamster-applet, for example. S

I would be so happy if it would be a gentoo my workspace! :) ;-) Just wanted to check if you use it professionally as I hesitate to adopt gnome-3 too early. I am running my business w/ gentoo on my machines and although I am interested in the new concepts I don't want to deal w/ too much problems. I have gnome-3 on a netbook, w/ sabayon linux, just to have a look. On my main rig it is still masked ... Thx, S

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.

[gentoo-user] gnome3 hotkey for searching in overview
Dear All, To be honest, I've never thought that I'm going to say that gnome is fantastic. I was always xfce and KDE user and I never was not able to understand the philosophy of Gnome. But, Gnome3 is amazing! Simple and easy to use. Not to mention that it has eye candy in a good way and doesn't eat my machine against KDE4.x. But I don't know what is the hotkey for reach the Type to search... searchbox in overview. I've spent a few hours to find it without any result. Can somebody tell me what is the shortcut?

The moment you start to type something (anything), the Type to search... searchbox catchs the key press immediately. There is no need for a shortcut. If that is not the way it works for you, you have some keyboard related configuration hiccup. Probably a legacy .Xmodmap or something similar.
