I wanted to give a heads-up to the wider audience about a number of
workstation changes that are landing in the f22 branch (and rawhide)
this week, in time for the alpha freeze next week:
- The message tray at the bottom is gone, notifications are now shown
at the top, and can be reviewed in the calendar popup (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GnomeShell_NewNotifications)
- The gnome-shell theme has been refreshed
- The login screen is using Wayland (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Login_Screen_Over_Wayland)
- Codec installation has been integrated in gnome-software (currently
this is hooked up in totem)
- Nautilus has received a number of improvements (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Nautilus_Improvements)
Please let us know if you see any fallout from these changes.
Thanks! Matthias

I'm nervous about GDM on Wayland; Wayland has never worked well on my
systems. Can you talk about fallback strategies a bit? Can GDM detect
when Wayland isn't working well enough to be usable, and cleanly fall
back? That's probably a big ask, though; presumably this can be set one
way or another by the user?
