Screw the designed-by-a-committee-of-clueless-usability-"experts"
Gnome 3.
Definitely not high power users. I can have 20 Firefox windows open
each with 5-10 tabs. I run 4 copies of Thunderbird with different
directories. A number of gedits with multiple tabs. And the list goes
on. I would only reboot after a new kernel, but my old nc2400 has a
habit of just shutting off every so often. Thus the new Lenovo and fc16....
You just need to flip a few toggles to restore some Gnome 2-like
sanity, in three easy steps:
Step 1: Install gnome-tweak-tool, if not already installed
WOW!!! this has some other important choices.
Step 2: Run it. Open the "Desktop tab". Turn on the "Have file manager
handle the desktop" switch (that is, after you figure out which one of
the two confusing icons means that the switch is on, and which one
means it off).
Step 3: For the last time, open a terminal window the Gnome 3 way, and
execute:
cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop $HOME/Desktop
The end: you'll now have a terminal icon on your desktop. Each time
you double-click on it, you'll get a new terminal window.
Where on the desktop? If I select Activities, I do not see it in the
list. Do I have to restart X (logout)? Or reboot?
Speaking of reboot, I can't find reboot/poweroff! So far I have SUed to
do these....
