What else could we do to advertize it more?
Basil's point is that 1. He installed openSUSE 11.4 2. He installed the Gnome 3.0 repository, as instructed and he didn't get gnome-shell out of the box, which *is* what Gnome 3.0 is largely about. The fallback mode is... well, a fallback mode. This tripped me, too. I *did* read the instructions in the wiki, and then this happened: - I added the repository. - zypper dup - Wait for about two hours while zypper downloads the Gnome 3.0 repo *AND* all the updates that have accumulated since 11.4 was released (this was a fresh installation, so it needed a bunch of updates already). In those two hours, frankly, the window where I had the wiki page with the instructions was buried very deep in my window stack. I think I even had lunch. When I finally noticed that "zypper dup" had finished, I thought nothing of just rebooting to run all the new stuff - I did not remember that there were extra instructions. So, yeah, I got the fallback mode and had a moment of "why would it not run, given that I already ran it before in 11.3?". When I tried to run gnome-shell by hand, of course it was not installed. *Then* I remembered the wiki page. This is a classic, bad out-of-the-box experience, and we just need to fix it. What would we need to do so that the "zypper ar; zypper dup" dance gets you *exactly* everything you need for a proper Gnome 3.0 installation, with gnome-shell and the metatheme?
