For a Desktop user, there is a big loss of structure. I did not see how to group common things together. One clicks on applications and we have everyone of them showing. I would actually want the business stuff in a folder, so I can keep clutter away. For a developer or a serious user, Gnome 3 is not for you. Best to remain with the classical Gnome interface, if it is possible. It's a Fedora issue, not a Gnome 3 issue. Fedora doesn't group it's application menus into categories/submenus like Debian does. Also, you didn't need to format & install Fedora 15 to get Gnome 3. You could've simply added a Debian experimental mirror in your sources.list and install gnome3. Alex Hi Alex I am not a linux guru, but lately Squeeze was not working properly. Some of the applications appear to have memory pointer problems or whatever, and after a while, Gnome would semi-die. When it does, clicking on the icons does zero, absolutely nothing. When this happens, only the switch to terminal mode and issuing the poweroff works. I have reported this problem as occurring mainly after viewing PDF files with the viewer apps. Anyway, I will check out JO's notes and see what else I can learn from the MLUGers Leslie
