Adam,

The gnome-shell in F14 is pretty different than the one in F15 and on my
machine when it was running F14, gnome-shell and in fact any clutter
based app on a ATI based machine does not run unless you set
CLUTTER_VBLANK=none. Which was something that was pretty difficult to find.

I opened bugs on gnome-shell/gthumb/clutter not working on F14 and
basically the response was WONT_FIX

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595989

Since then I have upgraded to F15 and for the most part I like
gnome-shell and will continue using it. My main concern with it actually
is the activities application launcher, which did change significantly
in F15. For a phone the interface looks like it would work great, but on
a large screen it feels like the amount of left-to-right mouse movements
to launch an app is significant. Gnome-shell also seems to have a
dependency on a keyboard to manage everything efficiently and there is a
lot of times I just use the mouse to check my email, reload a website
and walk away.

I have worked around my issues, by using AWN, but it would be nice if I
didn't have to do that.

Kevin
