I use multiple terminals all day; this doesn't interfere with my work at all. The launcher and general application/window management works very well. GNOME3 is not GNOME 2 [or anything else], I've no doubt that if the user takes a deep breath and does things the GNOME3 way they will be pleased. > Don't blame geeks.

And yet people whine that they want the taskbar back. I generally just dismiss this notion of it-is-hard-to-start, it doesn't do what I expect... If a launcher has an already running instance that fact is *visually indicated* on the launcher. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
