I was so stressed with gnome3 on archlinux, it works, but is so different, you must install a lot of extensions to get it useable, no panels, no applets in the panels.... the "compatible mode" is too crippled.. there is no easy way to configure the way it was before... The system was design to operate via keyboard shortcuts... makes me reminds the wordperfect times... Once you know the shortcuts, it is fast... but I do not want to use the keyboard, so it is difficult... I spend almost a month building gnome from sources, and using Freebsd ports to build it on Arch linux... (via makepkg and abs). I have a repository, (if someone is interest...) that installs about 800 packages with a group=gnome2... it should work on about any arch linux distribution. There is also a port of mate sometime I will test it ===> http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2012-July/027575.html Sergio
