Fedora 18, Gnome 3, and the "future" of Compiz

[Noah Cutler]

Thanks for the cheat sheet, Rahul, useful.

Almost there as far as Compiz goes -- if we could snap to grid with key
bindings, that would be ideal. Using the mouse for these kinds of tasks is,
IMO, not ideal, but I guess Gnome 3 is catering to the mobile/tablet user
as well.

I'll play around with Mate + Compiz, and Gnome 3 a bit more, have yet to
dive in, just first impressions so far.
