Re: New Gnome in Wheezy - more info

Kind of a typo on the name of mate deb package, no?!

Someone shall say shutthafuckup sometime, but I'm very happy using slim
+ openbox + tint2 + i3lock. Not that I hated gnome 3 at first, but after
a while of using it, I couldn't help but feel desperate with its huge
memory consumption and its unclear relationship with unix
philosophy/background.

To migrating windows users, I usually install xfce and pick some apps
from gnome.

You can alter the menu options by hitting super and typing "main menu"
and you will surely find it.

Extensions make it pretty damn good. It takes some getting used to.

You can go classic with gdm (the login screen), just select a user and
there is a little dropdown in the bottom left. It is a limited classic
though, and kind of sucks.

Personally I found that once I got used to it the benefits outweighed
what I lost. There was a new way to do everything I might have thought
couldn't be done.

Dear List -

I updated and now have the new Gnome.

The desktop is impossible, and almost unusable.

I do not have the old desktop entries, and cannot find Google Chrome.

How do I get the old desktop back?
