I'm using gnome3 on my laptop, its a pain as you has to load all the extras to get it to perform as
something reasonable.
I tried LXDE and if something could be sorted with the menus it would be a good alternative, but most of
the everyday apps are gnome apps which is also a pain. Why anyone would like it to look like windows I
dont understand, unless it a case of insanity.
I'm not sure if SID has all the extras and addons for gnome3, worth checking.
The worst thin with it is if you move the mouse pointer towards the TLH corner, it assumes you are going
to click on applications to minimise. Also in the TLH of most of the apps that have menus is a pulldown,
so as you go to access the pulldown the damn thing minimises.
Sorry mini rant
