I am getting so close to pulling the plug on gnome. Just
getting too hard to use with a mouse and keyboard.<br>
<br>
would like to get back to something close to gnome 2.
Like I still have on my Centos boxes.<br>

I have MATE running on F18 - and it has a ways to go with<br>
~/.gnome2 as opposed to ~/.gnome(3) user settings. MATE<br>
fails to save workspace settings, fails menu "reorganizations",<br>
uses caja/nautilus inconsistently, semi-fails XDMCP (Cannot<br>
log in remotely-unable to enter password), 'motion' does<br>
not work well on httpd+web browser and so on. There is more<br>
HD bloat (gnome2+gnome3) and it is a performance hog so<br>
a speedy MOBO/CPU/RAM is needed. The look and feel is pretty<br>
good, but it can get ugly sometimes.<br>
<br>
I hope MATE & applications catches up to what it was before
gnome-3.<br>
