Hiya, On G2 I almost always used 2 or 3 virtual desktops to keep tabs of everything, but with G3 I found that having more than 1 virtual desktop is difficult to keep tabs on if you'll excuse the pun.. instead it seems easier to use the alt tab for task switching, and the windows key to get to the application overview screen. The only frustration is that I cannot tell what I have running, other than what is onscreen, unless I go to the overview screen which means I am having to remember what I have running. In all other respects I am very happy with G3 now I have had time to really try it out.. the application search if using the windows key and first few char of app name is faster than the mouse based menu system G2 has, and G3 does seem to be at least as stable as G2 so yes, it *is* a work in progress but perfectly workable, with justy a few features missing, and far far more polished than the Unity interface. Regards Steve Sheldon

When I'm out and about I typically use G3 in a single workspace, the improved window switching and activity overview makes many-windows-in-a-workspace much easier to use than under G2 _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list The information contained in this e-mail is privileged and confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
