Interesting thread. I'm having fun finding ways to do the same
things
under "the shell" as I did with panels. I put all of the missing
widgets on the desktop (most of them anyway, those that allow placing
on
the panel) and then just call them up in a gnome-terminal.
"The shell" takes some getting used to and us OldFarts don't take
well
to change, but I am finding that the more I use it, the more I
understand the thinking that went into the design and the easier it
is
becoming to use.
Just need it to settle down and not break when updates are applied.
Bugs have been submitted.
BTW, what happened to wobbly windows? Was that someone else?
I think the bit that bugs me the most about gnome-shell is that if
applications have a long title, you can't tell what the apps is. ie
LibreOffice... by however many icons. I have to know what the icon
colour is for what app I want to launch :\
