This is the number one reason for leaving FC15 and Gnome3.
My applications and and places drop downs are still in place, but I sure the
perpetrators of Gnome3
are in the payroll of that company in Redmond.
All the extras that go with the G3 desktop aren't on the repos yet, not even on
testing.
make sure you load gnome-tweak-tool that helps abit.
Have fun
Thank you Richard :)
I guess I'll restore Debian testing with GNOME 2 from the backup and lock the
packages. In the future I'll use another DE. Ubuntu Studio switched to XFCE.
XFCE and LXDE were the favourites.
I wonder if Arch would be a better chocie instaed of switching between Suse,
Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian ...
Cheers!
Ralf
