Re: GNOME3 Ugh! Reverted to XFCE4

Hi, all:

What an appalling piece of crap is GNOME3! (IMNSHO anyway.) So I
installed xfce4 (the metapackage which installs all the basics and
some extras). Xfce session then shows up as an option on the login
screen. When I logged in, the new Xfce panel asked me if I wanted to
migrate from an old setup (I had used xfce4 a long time ago) and so I
did that, and my old familiar desktop is restored.

Perhaps others who dislike GNOME3 (does anyone not??) would like to
try Xfce4. I always liked it, especially on a machine with low
resources. That's no longer my situation, but I prefer its lean look
and footprint.


Exactly what I did. Playing with xfce4-wmdock-plugin as we speak.
