It is the same source code tree, with a bunch of code completely changed,
and it certainly does not have the same functionality (although it may
be slowly gaining some of what was missing in 3.0 back).

Quite honestly, as a user, I don't care what gnome names each piece of
the UI.  I consider it all gnome.

If I can't find how to maximize a window, how to logout, or much of
anything else in the first 5 minutes of use, then it isn't usable.

Of course this is probably getting off topic for debian-boot and almost
debian-devel.
