That's where I learned about fallback-mode, but you can indeed install |
| 17 |
panel applets like system-monitor, weather, clock, etc and add panel |
| 18 |
icons to start your favorite apps. |

One *very* important thing to know, however: To do things like move |
| 21 |
your panel icons around and add new ones, you must alt-right-click |
| 22 |
on the panel instead of just plain right-click. Took me a while to |
| 23 |
google that one. (This works only in fallback mode, BTW.) |

I'd say gnome3 is definitely better now than kde4 was when it first |
| 26 |
launched. (But that's faint praise indeed :) |
