I have it doing yum update at present, also going through an amazing lot of stuff. Will that enable me to orient myself? Or is this release a total loss already for all but Alpha Plus Technoids?

This helped me a lot: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet and start from the bottom up.
Many thanks! Looking at that now.
Rather than have a fixed number of viewports they now come and go as they are needed. Much different than the way I used to work but very comfortable now that I've had a couple of days to reorient myself.
I tried their recommended Alt-F2. It did nothing perceptible, even after a long wait. Nor did goosing it with the down arrow.
The "Applications" launcher (What was wrong with all the old Main Menu icons?) let me open Pan (which would be a great help -- I could, maybe, maybe, click back and forth between it, a browser, the desktop, and a terminal). But now Pan sits there, obscuring my terminal, and I can't even bring that to the front, much less get them into separate workspaces. I'm afraid to open a third app ....
Is this still the bug? Oe will this release *keep* this work- blocking behavior?? Say it ain't so!
