For future reference:
The bottom bar goes away if I select "Gnome" rather than "Gnome Classic".
The top bar can be made to go away by installing a Gnome extension called
"hide-top-bar".
"Default (Local)" is still there, but out of the way; there's no longer an
Applications menu for it to hide. The menu will appear if I press the
Windows key (they call it "super", but there's nothing super about
Windows).
The Russians still launch Soyuz with the R-7 ("Semyorka") rocket that
launched Sputnik 1 in 1957. The least we could do is to hang on to Gnome
2, which worked perfectly well, thankyouverymuch.

God, I'm starting to hate CentOS 7. The screen displays in 1360x768, but
there's a top and bottom bar that I can't make go away. With the bars there,
there's not enough space to display all of rdairplay, so the Add/Delete/Move
buttons aren't there.
In Gnome 3 on Debian 7, I could set these bars to "autohide", but CentOS 7's
version of Gnome 3 doesn't seem to allow that. The only alternative seems to
be to increase to the next higher resolution, which is 1920x1080. That's
enough to show all of rdairplay, but all the text is now teeny-tiny and
wiggly. Our program hosts would go blind trying to use that.
Is NASA in charge of Gnome? I remember when NASA could land men on the moon,
and now it can't even get them into space. Gnome used to be much more
configurable; now you pretty much have to take it as it comes, and CentOS
doesn't seem to offer anything else.
What's this "Default (Local)" thing that appears in the upper left corner? It
doesn't seem to do anything, and it covers the Applications menu, making it
difficult to launch any programs.
Apologies for the whine.
