What People Are Saying About GNOME [Part 5]
4801: Go back to Gnome2
Go back to Gnome2
Go back to Gnome2
Go back to Gnome2
4802: Really can't comment on GNOME3 as it does not work with my video driver(AMD catalyst). Can't use OSS driver due to horrible battery time(laptop).
Unfortunately there are also still bugs in GNOME2 that are never going to be fixed due to the move to GNOME3, such as 572756.
Keep supporting the old version until the new one is usable by most users(all popular drivers).
4803: 1. Many more config options (a la KDE 3.x); for things such as window frame buttons (keep on top)
3. Better FUNDAMENTAL desktop features, especially transparent network file access for development (including permissions and so on), proper fully integrated support for ACLs, custom file attributes/tags, smarter search / tagging, a la the older gnome project that figured out the context of what you were typing in IM and showed you related documents etc.
4. Less regressions in terms of functionality. Why does GNOME 3.x have less features than 2.x, for example? I *like* 3.x, but losing flexibility is not good.
Keep up the good work, and don't let unity win! :)
4804: good Tiling WM
more settings/options
faster GNOME-Terminal
4805: * Stop the unbelievably stupid conviction of "less features == happier users"
* Scrap the entire project codebase to never ever ever use GTK ever again
Please either fucking switch your code, or let your project die. The world doesn't need something so shit being touted as the flagship DE for Linuxen (and don't spin the "most-used" story, that's just as bullshit as why Windows is the dominent desktop OS)
4806: Better, more detailed power management. Adopt Unity, notifyOSD, and indicators.
4807: Easier themes/icons. Its not that big of a deal but its actually kind of a pain to change the way it looks consistently.
I hate it when my windows get stuck outside of the monitors field of vision and I have to use a key combo to move a window out of the way because the title bar is hidden
4808: I would like it to be less Evolution-dependent.
I would like more graphical consistency.
. I am actually trying gnome 3.2 and starting to like it (but I am not 100% sure it would fit in a production environment, at least not yet), but please don't stop the updates on the 2.x way of managing the desktop!
. Thanks for you work! :-)
4809: Panel, panel, and panel.
I use gnome 2 with docky and it somewhat resembles the unity setup, but I much prefer docky to the Unity dock, and the gnome2 panel to the Unity panel.
Gnome (2 or 3) needs a solid panel app that can function as both a launcher and a panel. Gnome 2 has the right idea, just poorly implemented and clunky to operate: allow multiple panels, with the option to do anything with them.
Docky is a nice launcher with a few odd glitches, but I could see using only docky and throwing out the gnome panel if I could have some good plugins such as desktop switcher, cpu monitor, main menu and notification area.
The gnome-shell panel is unconfigurable and not usable for me. A good panel would make gnome 3
Give us a nice configurable panel app/launcher for gnome 3 with an extensive plugin selection and a lot more people will be comfortable moving from gnome 2.
4810: stop hiding the power off button by default, having the button hidden by default is confusing to new users, It should also be made more clear that you can access the power off button by holding alt while on the main gnome menu.
4811: better integrate google calender,mail
also integrate facebook,google+,twitter somehow:-)
4812: The current system does not work well with two or more monitors and virtual desktops since virtual desktops do not cover more than one screen.
The settings panel is really too simple, I know OS X is great and so on but even Apple allows more customization (for example disabling unnecessary icons like bluetooth/accessibility). Suspend as a default "shutdown" _without options_ is a really weird decision even though I use suspend/hibernate heavily. Vista did the same mistake but there was a possibilty to choose default action through default GUI.
Gnome 3 is visually the best looking environment but at the same time it feels like it's designed for idiots.
4813: make compiz faster and stop crashing.
better xmonad integration
more intuitive help availability (for the wife and kids) esp w/r/t options only available from command line
Pretty good. The preferences/administration menus too busy. Will upgrade soon. Keep up good work!
4814: Greater customizability of window themes
Faster response time of gnome shell
native window placement
I like the new interface and I believe a new direction for the desktop environment is a good idea. My one big gripe is that the desktop is getting a bit cumbersome and could be a little leaner and provide the same functionality.
4815: * Adwaita
* GDM
* File system not available to users through the shell, only ~/. Rest available through console only.

4816: Dual monitor better support, bottom notification, system status bar
Please solve the many bugs before going on
4817: better dual monitor support. setting up two monitors is a pain, and Xorg is consuming 100s of MB of memory, and always in the top 5 CPU consuming processes in top.
4818: -Add more confguration options to GNOME-Shell like the abbility to customize the top status bar 'the panel'.
-Nautilus should support a more robust searching/filtering system - like text document content searches.
-A easy way to shut down instead of sleeping. (Very important)
4819: Intigrate the System meny into the Program menu
4820: Normal panel
Less memory consumption
No MONO
More configuration option (shell settings, window settings)
4821: Go back to gnome 2.x and bring back the technical to gnome 3.x
produce two versions one for developers and one for consumers
endorse this survey, then you will see what developers want
4822: Fix sound forever
Fix printing forever
Fix GRUB booting w/ mixed IDE-SATA
delete 3.2. This is not and Iphone.
4823: 1. More integration of encrypting services
2. Better email/chat clients (gmail is still by far the best, unfortunately!)
3. Non-black standard colour scheme
Thanks for your work, I hope I will be able to give some contribution, sooner or later.
4824: Support gnome 2
i want my gnome 2 back!
4825: I don't like the gradual process of losing the ability to customize the environment. I like being able to point to an object, right-click it, & then make changes to how that object behaves. I feel that both GNOME & Unity are getting away from that, & are progressively obscuring ways of making a system feel lived-in.
4826: 1. give me my panel applets back! power save inhibitor, hardware monitor, kill misbehaving applications (yes, there's still a lot of them), cpu freq scaling... motherfucking god there was hundreds of useful applets available....
2. international clock! in the top right corner! (wtf, this was soo great in gnome 2.30)
3. fuck activities. this is the most retarded desktop concept i've seen.
BONUS: There's no obvious way to POWER OFF the computer - you have to google it, there's no cance anyone would find out how to do it - what the fuck were you smoking?
pull your heads out of your asses. the linux desktop was mature, stable and functional, you're just killing it.
4827: More options
No lag on searching for applications in gnome-shell
Shortcut for switching to, or opening in the current workspace, a specific application
4828: Awful new interface needs to be in line with current UIs, not trying to stray into something new that is worse than the current standard.
Fuck yourselves, those of you with souls should start helping the xfce developers.
4829: Better and more reliable GUI's for noobies
Better documentation
Better networking stability for laptops (roaming etc)
Focusing on the new user would help both GNOME and linux in general
4830: I switched from GNOME 2.x to XFCE because GNOME 3.x does not meet my desktop needs as a workstation interface.
If you want to make GNOME 3 work on touch tablets, that is fine. Just don't destroy the desktop experience for people with normal workstations (multiple monitors, keyboards, mice, etc).
4831: 1) Have the search functionality search my home directory.
2) Put preferences in more logical places, for example the default applications settings are in the system info, that's confusing.
3) In network manager put the network settings option in the drop down menu, it's annoying having to go to a separate app to remove network connections, like wireless AP's I accidentally tried to join.
I have a track pad, it would be nice to have a way to turn on emulate 3 buttons and mouse wheel emulation with a GUI instead of having to have a special script that gets called every time gnome starts in order to set x settings.
4832: 1) More personalizability
2) More lightness
3) Nothing else :)
Keep up the good work, i just love GNOME 3 and Unity, they aren't still the best but you've done a great thing renewing the desktop experience in Linux... I hated GNOME 2 interface!
4833: Better OPENVPN support, using Network-manager or other tool.
4834: scrap gnome 3 and revert to gnome 2
4835: Keep basic characteristics of GNOME 2, they work well - no need to change them
4836: Czech translate, icons
4837: Search for new apps in Unity
Good luck :)
4838: Gnome 2 was excellent, with the only thing I can think of improving would be Xfce style themes and customisation. I've tried Gnome 3 but I just can't adapt to not having a window list - probably because I need to use Windows at work.
4839: More tweaks available to the user. The defaults are sane, but I'd like an advanced tweaker.
Better dual-head support (no arbitrarily moving widgets/panels)
Can't think of anything else at the moment
I like the "keep it simple" approach. I'd like a kind of "under the hood" tweaker though. I haven't tried GNOME 3 yet, but it looks OK. Though I really hope it's not like Unity (which I hated). In particular, the concept of all apps being fullscreen sucks. Especially if you're using lots of terminals or a couple of apps (like a tagger and file browser) on a decent-size monitor. Again, not sure if this applies to GNOME 3, but it's a deal-breaker in Unity (which I know isn't a GNOME project, just that it looks a little similar).
4840: Need an easy/fast mouse way of moving between workspaces
Make it easy to restore minimised windows
Make it possible to save windows layouts (gnome-session-save)
4841: copy or move files to a specific folder.
4842: add ability to put panels on specific monitors in a multi monitor system
Option to retain menu driven system a la gnome 2
Nothing else really
I like my current setup on two monitors. I prefer the paradigm of a menu driven system (like gnome 2) rather than a search based paradigm (like gnome 3 or unity). Sometimes I know the program I am looking for by what it does rather than what it is called. I can look under "graphics" for example rather than searching for "photivo"
4843: Bring back the taskbar, make icon sizing easier, make Dock usage optional (icons on desktop for those who like that). 4) make system bar customizable again.
4844: I would scrap unity and gnome3, both are utterly useless and not in the Linux tradition, if I wanted to use windows I would use windows 7.
Someone in the Gnome team who thought up Gnome 3 needs to be given another job somewhere else.
Yes my comments would be to sack all the Gnome 3 team as they are a laughing stock in the Linux community never in all the years I have used computers have a seen such outrage as there has been with the introduction of Gnome 3 and Unity. Are you all going crazy ?
4845: more settings
4846: Much more configurability (eg. themes, icons, ...)
A way to change the "Activities" Window (what applications will be displayed up front and which not)
More eye-candy.
4847: 1. Better drivers for ATI
2. Better configuration tools for GNOME shell
3. Don`t remove existing options that were present since the dawn of GUI
Focus on drivers support not so much on breaking already working systems. GNOME 2 was very good, GNOME 3 + Gnome SHELL is also good but until you get support from video card vendors no one will use GNOME Shell. Do you really expect users to buy their computers according to your requirements? Users buy computers that work with Windows if their computer dosen`t work with Linux/BSD they just switch back to Windows. Until GNOME/KDE become big enough to be supported by video vendors there won`t be Linux desktop for end users.
4848: 1. Expose more features via the settings menus, or at a minimum, provide a more user friendly tool than dconf-editor for getting to them. In a modern desktop environment I expect to be able to change all but the most esoteric settings via a GUI
2. Integrate web services more fully. My DE should do everything my smartphone can do. I want to be able to put in my google and facebook account credentials and get email notifications, calendar appointments, chat integration, etc. WITHOUT relying on evolution or having to fuss with settings in multiple places. In my experience getting evolution to link with my Google calendars is tricky and unreliable. I'd love to be able to uninstall it as I don't use it at all.
3. Extend the instant search functionality to include searching files in the Home directory (other than recent files) - Windows 7 style. I think early builds of Gnome-shell did this.
4. Make it easier to install extensions. I understand this is in the works. It doesn't even seem like there is (yet) an "official" repository to find all the available extensions, you just have to scour repos and websites. Again, a GUI or firefox-style addon system would be perfect
I love Gnome shell! I hate to see so many people bashing it b/c I think it's a great innovation in desktop design. I actually switched from Ubuntu to Arch so that I could use it immediately after release. Aside from the items above, I think the team needs to focus more on making the DE easily tweakable via GUI tools the way Gnome 2 was. As it stands, you need special tools or command line know-how to install extensions, change the theme, or access many fairly routine settings.
4849: 1) Bring back the original ModemMonitor
2) Enable user to set Gnome up the way they want instead of having
GNOME shove their policy down our throats.
3) Abandone the 3.x series and continue with what users want for a
change.
Good By! I've been dealing with your arrogance & dismissiveness for way too long now. I'm leaving and not looking back.
4850: 1) alt + f2 is missing suggestions
2) I'd like to change my options via some UI application and not via dconf
3) why do i have to press alt again to shutdown my pc?
Gnome 3 is still very much work in progress. Unfortunatelly it isn't a finished product. It seems to be more a presentation of functionality yet. Overall I find the direction rather interesting.
4851: Add taskbar, more options in settings(I'm not 5), add a mute option when right clicking on the speaker
FIX IT!
4852: Allow customization.
Listen to your users more.
4853: 1. Simplify/clarify the panel managing
4854: Integrated extensions
Easier theming
Easier/more customization of Activities screen
Loving GNOME 3 - keep up the great work :)
4855: Desktop icons,
keyboard navigation,
detailed configurability
Are you people f'n nuts?
On Fedora 14 (Gnome2) my desktop was mostly "don't need to think about it". Occasionally I would want something where I'd have to look up how to do it.
On Fedora 15, Gnome 3 it was frustration after frustration, downright STUPID constraints with no way to change behaviors that continuously got in the way of real work. After a month or so I gave up and have been dancing between window/desktop managers since.
4856: more themable
more tweackable
bring back applets like netspeed, system monitoring
4857: Keep the classic desktop.
Get rid of gconf.
Don't require 3d or 2d accel.
It's ok, i personally switched to XFCE. Study the difference: How do you move window buttons to left/right or add remove minimize, etc, with XFCE vs Gnome. The answer is the reason i switched, this nonsensical attitude is present in all of gnome.
Gnome: Obscure gconf entry. XFCE: Drag and drop gui...
4858: 1) total configurability in an easy human readable/edittable textfile
with comments, that works and is respected in all versions 1.x 2.x 3.x
benefit: copy one file and you are ready to work!
2) fix bugs and write complete documentation instead removing features
or rewriting the same stuff another time.
3) better integration with KDE and other environments: every app
should just work in any enviroment and understand its configuration
in order to seamlessly integrate.
Get rid of the attiutude "we know better what the user wants/needs"
in the minds of the developers. This immature behavior shows only one
thing: incompetence and laziness.
Eat a big portion of humble pie and learn from KDE, windowmaker etc.
Especially get rid of the "Not invented here" syndrome. Who needs
epiphany-browser or galeon, when there is firefox, chrome or opera.
4859: easier way to turn on focus-follows-mouse
easier configuration changes via nicely documented config files
compiz/OSX -style window decorations built-in. I've tried going to compiz, and improves the appearance, but it has it's own set of issues.
I'm just starting to try Gnome 3; I've got a machine running Fedora 15 that I'm playing with. Please don't forget us nerds who want to configure our desktop the way we want.
4860: 1) integration of desktop search (some kind of OSX's spotlight) to find files (not only apps as it is currently in gnome 3.x
this is crucial for me..
2)
4861: Window list not grouped by application like the sidebar
Alt Tab working as in GNOME 2
Add more customization options
Listen to the people
4862: Give options back to users, no options is bad practise. You as a developer can't 100% of the time know the need of the user.
For example. I would like to use gnome in Englis with Finnish locales but this has never been possible. As the dev "know" that there are no user who would wish to do so.
Rigid user interface never works all the time. Xfce & KDE/Plasma environments have very good defaults, but bend when needed.
GTK software always feels so childish, mostly because of the Gnome idea that user needs no options. Every software that is multiplatform/win/mac/kde has more maturity and usability.
What i am trying to say is Gnome environment always tries to make user fight with the interface and stupid design instead of just working.
Give up. Whole Gnome project should just wither away and all effort should be put towards Xfce/lxde/KDE
Gnome 3 was so horrible experience that i will never show newbies any distros that use Gnome 3...
Xfce is so much better Gtk+ base these days and KDE is getting better with every single release they make.
4863: Flush GNOME 3 and GNOME 2 down the toilet and update GNOME 1.
Please pull your heads out of your butts.
4864: Three observations I made from using GNOME 3.0 (via OpenSUSE) on my laptop:
1) the "expose" function of moving mouse to top-left corner is too close to browser "back" button. Consider moving it.
2) alt-tabbing between terminal windows is painful. The grouping function is unintuitive.
3) title bar is both excessively large and useless. Move titlebar context menu to the top-bar menu (that now only has "close program" option).
In general, I felt that GNOME3 almost works on small screen laptops. Though I still prefer LXDE. :-)
I've heard lots of negative comments about GNOME3. I think GNOME3 is a radical departure of the previous model, but not all bad. Perhaps you should keep a "classic mode" that offers a more conservative desktop.
(Disclaimer: I'm a programmer..) The improvements in APIs (gtk/glib) are useful in any case. Though I've been wary about the GDBus stuff. I love the GVariant way of mastering D-Bus messages, but an API that requires use of threads (GIO) can't get my support. I'm single-threaded libevent all the way :-) I was shocked that recent glib made g_thread_init() mandatory.
Keep up the good work!
4865: - More applets to easily monitoring the system.
- A easier way to change the menus (by a few mouse clicks or simple draggings)
- Nautilus: a feature where it can group by type, date, size, etc. (like in Windows Explorer).
A new version of GNOME should have backwards compatibility with old ones so as to smoothen the change.
4866: 1. A preference to turn off the behavior in the corners. It's hard to hit the back button on a web browser when all the application windows pop up whenever I put the pointer near the back button.
2. A movable dock/launcher in GNOME 3 would be nice. Not everyone is using a widescreen monitor on every device they own.
4867: I'd want to see prechaching option somewhere in gnome. I got 8 gigs of relatively fast ram, and some of menus take relatively a lot of time to open up.
I tried new version of gnome, some 3.x one anyway, PLEASE KILL PULSE AUDIO. Caused so many troubles to me and to my friends, not even funny. Or at very least make it that it's removable. I have asus xonair card, which works perfectly with dolby surround and never give much troubles.(some programs may block dps file sometimes after they quit, like xine, but kill -9 them = problem solved)
Perhaps, more close compiz integration would be good.
Thank you very much for the GNOME!
I love it and use it every day of my useless life. i won't install new version of it though, not untill pulse audio is killed with fire(or becomes uninstalable without taking rest of the system down).
4868: Will take time to wish all GNOME contributors my hearty congratulation for all the good work over the years.
4869: go back to 2.32, i personally liked usability than style and elegance. support for gtk2 themes, and less memory usage
i like gnome, though i don't like a flashy desktop. keep up the good work though
4870: The shell mostly, go back to 2.X ;)
4871: Add widget size customization - most UI elements have too much padding and waste screen real estate. I would add accessibility options to support systems with limited mouse movement ranges (laptops with small trackpads). I would add a comprehensive gestures/hotkeys/usage walkthrough in the help section.
Gnome looks dated, regardless of whether it actually is. Adoption of a desktop environment hinges greatly on the user's visceral reaction. Make theme creation and installation trivially easy. Expose a great depth of options for the enthusiastic. Take a look at the jQuery UI theme creator for an example of this concept done well. This will allow your enthusiast community to add more visual flair. It's not so much about motion effects as it is about good artistry and design of the static UI elements. The community can provide this in spades. Focus your development efforts on reliability and performance of user interaction - the more fluid Gnome feels, the happier the average new adopter will be.
4872: 1.I want to choose which Calender I want to use instead of beeing tied to Evolution
2. A Global Menu would be great but not like the gnome-shell-extension but more like OSX
3. The Mass Storage Notifier needs a configuration dialog to define which type of storage/ drive will trigger a notification when mounted (Exp. mute for ext. HDD)
You Guys rock, thanks for your work!
4873: file manager integrated into the dash
option to auto-hide the top panel
ability to add desktop shortcuts
4874: Make 3 more consistant, like 2
4875: 1) Make it smaller
2) Make it faster
4876: Implement the appearance-menu again, improve multi-screen support, 'proffesional-view' so all settings
First, I thought Gnome 3 would be crap - same thing with unity. But I tested it again some weeks ago and Im now totally fan of it (in contrast to unity, which is still crap).
So I want to encourage you to work on with gnome 3. Its pretty nice and innovative! (But please, give the user more possibilities to personalize his system :) )
4877: - better support for automatic tiling of windows. I often want to have two windows side by side. I currently use X-Tile for this. On Mac OS X I use a utility called breeze.
- be very careful with keyboard commands. I use emacs and don't want my keys taken over
- better support for remote desktop. I also want to make sure the keyboard works in this case for emacs!
4878: 1) Bring back GNOME 2.
2) Bring back GNOME 2.
3) Bring back GNOME 2.
Bring back GNOME 2.
4879: - I would stop the current Gnome 3 development, it plain sucks
- Improve power management tools
- Make it easier to manage file and folder permissions
Do not continue with Gnome 3! It looks awfully close to Unity, and Unity is what will stop me from updating my Ubuntu 11.04 (I login with Gnome classic). I would rather run KDE.
4880: Tell Ubuntu that you rock and unity sucks!
4881: Go back to previous style.
Wtf happened with gnome3? Why do things put in ~/Desktop not appear there?
4882: Go back to the original GNOME 2 style interface.
Windows 7 has now proven to be more useful than the current GNOME interface. This makes me sad.
4883: The multiple desktops feature is absolutely *awful*. The old-style feature let me create a fixed number of desktops and set up a hot-key to reach a particular desktop; with the new one, I never know how many I have, and rearranging windows on them to show up in a particular order is an exercise in frustration as desktops automatically close when they are emptied; I have not had nice things to say about the Gnome-Shell developers as I do this.
The hot corner thing is cute, but I use synergy to share my keyboard and mouse across multiple machines; I occasionally inadvertently trigger the hot corner while moving the mouse cursor to a different machine, and then I can't read the window I just opened; there's no obvious way to turn it off, either.
The user interface seems to rely heavily on searching; this is a good thing for applications that are used a medium amount of time by somebody who already knows what they are. For rarely-used applications and applications that I've forgotten or never knew about, it sucks. It's an extra step or two for very frequently used applications, but that's a minor thing. Gnome Do had this utterly brilliant feature where the more I used an application, the higher on the list it would appear. Gnome Shell does not appear to do this, at least not very quickly if it does. The keyboard shortcut keys, if any exist, are not particularly obvious. As an example, I clicked the "Activities" thingy, typed "C" for the Chromium browser, then tried to hit the right arrow to select the icon on the right. Nothing happened. I then tried the down arrow, and the highlight moved to the right. Small, but it does make me think you guys have never tried your own work.
I'm sure you'll dismiss all the complaints and negativity as "resistance to change". I follow the development blogs as I'm the developer who does most of the Linux support for my (small) company, and I've already seen the negative blog comments on the subject. I've tried Unity, and it has the same "hey-tablets-are-really-cool-lets-make-our-desktop-work-like-that" mentality. It's taken KDE 5 or 6 iterations to get back to usable; I'll try Gnome again around version 3.8 or so.
4884: Make it possible to change the primaty screen via GUI!
Fix those small bugs, that appeare everywhere, rhythmbox plays two songs at the same time, some some not at all, empathy integration could be much better, there should be no difference in sending messages on the window or in the small box on the bottom.
Easier possibilities to get a terminal and a file manager!
Sometimes I close applications, but the window does not close at once. this is new.
see 22. thanks!
4885: Better access to customization & preferences
4886: I'd try to make it easier to configure Gnome 3, give a few more options in that direction. I understand Gnome 3 is still at an early stage, but every user wants to tweak his/her computer's interface a little to feel it more personal and get comfortable with it. This is especially important with something like Gnome 3, bringing along so many innovations, ideas and dramatic changes. Also, bring back all the system settings tools from Gnome 2! I loved the way Gnome 2 was "configurable, but not too much", if you know what I mean.
4887: • Make GNOME 3 a little more backwards-friendly in terms of options
• Make "tray" icons more accessible
• Bring back something closer to the old "Applications" button for organization.
4888: allow me to resize my panel
the devs should not try give defaults, thats for ubuntu or other distros
Make it more vimy :)
4889: Add a window list back (bottom panel)
Option to disable all effects
Support older hardware (maybe combined with above suggestion?)
4890: Give more options to users, speed it up so it is as fast as iOS, and focus on developing high-quality applications.
Be more open.
4891: dual-monitor support for workspaces (might be fixed in 3.2, haven't checked yet)
ignore the idiots and the flamers, focus on making gnome awesome
4892: add quick launch icons to panel, add back gnome panel applets, get rid of any need to move the mouse to the top left hand corner of the screen.
i was a big fan of gnome2, keep working on gnome3, i don't think it's quite there yet. not sure if you've implemented dual monitor wallpaper in gnome3, but it wasn't very easy to go about multiple wallpapers in gnome2. in xfce you can easily select which monitor you want a wallpaper to go on.
4893: no need for terminal
easyer way to change settings, for theme, and move close button from right to left.
where the is the shut down icon??
4894: power management
The power management applet needs fixing. When AC power is connected, id says that the computer is running in battery mode and shows a dialog
Laptop battery power running critically low" [Cnacel,OK]. Regardless of what you choose to dismiss the dialog, the computer hibernates.
4895: window tiling, appearance
if there were better window tiling options in gnome, I wouldn't be using wmii on top of gnome install (ubuntu).
4896: Not sure where GNOME ends and Ubuntu customization begins, so nothing occurs to me.
4897: * Bring back old GDM
* Ditch any tie-ins with rhythmbox
* Fix the logout sound bug
Stop reinventing the wheel for the sake of reinventing the wheel.
4898: 1. Give Evolution conversation view, and a more streamline interface.
2. Improve Nautilus.
3. Bring more of the options from Gnome 2 into the tweak tool.
Gnome 3 is very comfortable to use. Great work!
4899: Finish the extension and theme support in 3.2 - it's clunky and inconsistent right now.
Add more customization for workspaces. The new dynamic stuff rubs me the wrong way.
Convince Ubuntu to throw away Unity :) - at this point I feel that Gnome Shell achieves everything Unity does, a little better.
4900: #1 The application search in gnome shell would be more snappy.
#2 The shut down computer option would be easier to find.
#3 The windows in the shell overview would be grouped by application.
