Well, at least on ~x86 and ~amd64 gnome3 is the default now. I have |
2 |
mixed feelings about gnome3, so I let gentoo install it on a VirtualBox |
3 |
VM to start with and I'll think about updating my real machines later. |

The new gnome-shell is the controversial piece of gnome3 and (so far) |
6 |
I find it counterproductive. |

I googled how to disable the gnome-shell and get my gnome-panel back, |
9 |
along with the panel applets that I refuse to give up. (The gnome- |
10 |
shell replaces the gnome-panel, so there is nowhere to run the old |
11 |
applets.) |

If you want to disable gnome-shell you can do it with the System Info |
14 |
function in System Settings. Click the Graphics icon and enable the |
15 |
gnome-fallback setting to disable gnome-shell. Ah, much better :) |
