28 Even changing to "[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0" won't help. Support
29 for older GNOME will eventually disappear. If you need a desktop, look

32 I run ICEWM. It does what I need (taskbar/launcher a few applets) and
33 then it stays out of the way, and doesn't chew up a ton of resources.
34 See my sig.
