Thanks Bin Li. Upstream's position is quite sad, but at least now I know what
to (not) expect, and it is good to know that at least I can control the setting
from the command line.
I'll give a try to the "Presentation Mode" gnome-shell extension to, it might
do what I want.
I have to say I am not exactly optimistic with regards to Gnome's future. Their
inability to listen to with their own users is dramatic. Their policy of
keeping things simple makes a lot of sense, but only if applied with the eyes
opened. Right now it doesn't seem to fit the real world.
If they continue that way, they will start losing users. Or we'll see a lot of
extensions from random developers to work around all the usability issues, and
odds are it will cause as many problems as it will solved, as code quality and
interaction between the extensions won't get as much review and testing as if
the same code was part of the gnome project, not even mentioning security
concerns. Plus gnome will start behaving differently from one user to the next,
so the "Gnome user experience" can no longer be defined. I think this is
opposite to what the Gnome developers are trying to do in the first place.
My original reason for moving to Gnome (from Xfce) was to make it look more
user-friendly to visitors. I didn't want my visitors to think that using Linux
still implied a lot of command line and lack of integration. Now with Gnome 3,
I am back to command line and lack of integration for most of my daily tasks,
so the move qualifies as a failure. Sad but true.
