"It is like Gnome Desktop Environment developers are now working against Linux... Pure Gnome3 is just a BIG & major regress on Linux desktop, it makes Linux desktop productivity more difficult and bring useless features. Even the bars are frozen, you cannot interact, neither visual customize or configure anything. The panels are a pain, I can not add applets to them.

I hope we can provide them with a selection of extensions by default in our next release
