Thanks all!
I've been away, but now installed both gnome-shell-extensions and XFCE and
very short tried both. I find GNOME Classic very nice indeed. XFCE seems also
very good, but everything is really tiny. I presume the others handles the
resolution (2880x1800) by scaling up? I haven't
I agree. Over the years, when I wanted a lightweight setup I would use
fluxbox or even window maker. Whenever I tried XFCE certain things didn't
seem to work and the whole thing just didn't seem worth it. In desperation,
during some test one day, after trying many other WMs, I tried XFCE

Thanks! I make progress!
Driver is Gallium 0.4 on NVE7. I don't know what that means though, or which

And now I was able to find and start the GNOME shell! (Text on my login
screen is extremely tiny, would never have found it without help).

You can see the driver in System Settings --> Details.
If you installed Gnome Shell, you'll see a new option on the login screen.
It's behind the Trisquel next to your user name.
Thanks for suggestions.
I tried Guest session and a new user. Looks the same - no panel.
I used Synaptic Package handler and searched for gnome shell.
gnome-shell-common was already installed. I installed gnome-shell and
restarted, but can see no difference.

Hello,
I was recently introduced to GNU/Linux and FSF and decided to try Trisquel.
I installed it first on my MacBook (2008) and it looked fine, and I decided
to install it on my MacBook Pro retina (2012). Installation was fine, but
