Gentle People:
<br>
<br>
<big><big><big><small> A heartfelt plea from a user:<br>
<br>
Please, Please, Please if you must keep Gnome 3 then<br>
Keep the "Fall Back Mode" in ALL future versions of Fedora.<br>
Otherwise to me Fedora would be unusable.</small><br>
</big></big></big><br>
Please read the justification below: <br>
<br>
I just installed, last night, Fedora 17, on a PC! Things went
very well overall.
<br>
Bravo good work!
<br>
<br>
Following this I successfully loaded all the updates with the
update tool,
<br>
and again bravo it worked!
<br>
<br>
But, But, But I have found a number of what I consider
disastrous bugs in Gnome 3,<br>
too many to list here! <br>
<br>
But I include a few:<br>
<br>
1) The on screen menus, located at the top left of the screen, seem
very dark, to
<br>
the point of being almost unreadable. Keep in mind it is not just
the monitor, an HP
<br>
w2408h, in that the computer shares the monitor with three others
via a four way switch.
<br>
The other computers produce a bright screen, each working as
expected. So is there
<br>
any way to adjust this? Keeping in mind that I spent the evening
going through the menus.
<br>
<br>
2) Periodically parts of the screen, typically the area contained by
the boundaries of menu
<br>
entries will go all wankers, looking like a 1960's TV on an antenna
that has lost horizontal
<br>
sync.<br>
<br>
3) Periodically the letters of the menus become a garbled to the
point of being unreadable!<br>
<br>
4) Gnome 3 crashes about once an hour under light loading.<br>
<br>
Thank You For Your Time.<br>
