That's your experience. My experience with GNOME 3 on SL7.2 is that is vastly have improved workflow. A lot of it comes through very handy keyboard shortcuts and a handful of GNOME Shell extensions. In fact I can't imagine any sane reason to move back to GNOME 2 or anything else - it just feels so clumsy and horrid to work with for me. Everything just runs very smoothly and fine on my ThinkPad T450s. But this is /my/ experience. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth - If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said "faster horses." -Henry Ford
