gnome-classic-session

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am looking through what extensions are available for gnome via yumex, 
and I find gnome-classic-session.

This sounds interesting.  I really miss gnome2, and Centos and ClearOS 
are gnome2.

So is anyone running it on f20?  What experiences are they having?

I haven't tried gnome-classic-session in F20 yet though I have looked
at it in F19.  The one feature I missed is the ability to put application
launchers in the top panel.  Happily my Frippery Panel Favorites
extension[1] works in classic mode as well as full-on GNOME 3 mode.

You might also want to look at the other Frippery exensions[2].  I've
been maintaining them since GNOME 3.0 to provide something like what
classic mode now does.

I did an extensive series of blog posts on Gnome Classic. The final
one describes my ultimate (and current) environment on Fedora 20. I
suggest you have a look:
