Just want to say thanks for solving the pain of gnome 3.
i tried it for 4 days, and it just slowed me down and annoyed the shit out of me.

Using xfce is fantastic, clean small and gives the performance boost i had some years ago!

using gnome 3 with
fedora 15
ati hd4670
12gb of ram
3.2ghz core i7
asus rampage extreme mb

fealt like some one was taking the piss, and sure enough they were!

they would learn a thing of 2 from compiz compositioning!

That's amazing, success.

Anyway, I agree entirely with you regarding GNOME 3's "Shell". (I object even to the name. bash is a shell. zsh is a shell.)

My mobo is maxed out at 1 GB and there's no way I could afford a new one. When I read about what was going to be in Gnome 3, I was appalled. Not only does it represent what I consider to be a Great Leap Backward, almost nothing I object to (or anything else, for that matter) is configurable. You either do everything the way the Gnome devs (who never listen to mere users, BTW) think you should be doing things or you don't use Gnome. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why both my desktop and my laptop now run XFCE, not Gnome.
