I like the look of Gnome 3. I have a question though, I seemed to have lost the enhancements of compiz, wobbly windows and such. Is this something you give up with Gnome 3?

[gotbletu]

@MrVeeBlog shells it doesnt use compiz, u might be able to use compiz in fallback mode

[MrVeeBlog]

@gotbletu Fallback?



[gotbletu]

@MrVeeBlog yea gnome3 fallback mode

Tried Gnome 3, got rid of it and back to Gnome 2. Some kde games won't work with it and I just became very frustrated with its issues. It's like working with alpha software - maybe will give it a go if and when it's ready for release!

[gotbletu]

@quercus56 Yea it isnt for everyone

[Xaahu]

it will be very cool if it had a shadow on the top panel

[Xaahu]

@gotbletu: Hi where can I find the desctop wallpaper, which is used in this video?

@gotbletu Had some strange issues that running sudo apt-get install gnome-session , gnome-shell or the gnome tweak tool. I get an already up-to date version installed, or package does not exist. When I do get it installed it will either run fine, or will become so sluggish that it is unusable. Tried on Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 and Linux Mint 11. I have had variable results with installing Gnome 3.

[kiwicanuck1973]

Will this guide work with Linux Mint 11 Katya?
