Ok, GNOME Shell, a revamped desktop for GNOME 3.0
Now, I have a little problem with such a thing, let me tell you it;
I have one pair of hands, one pair of eyes and one brain. Try as I might, I cannot do more then one thing at a time. Hence why I've really not found much of a use for multiple desktops.
I mean, if I want to show off with the Desktop Cube, sure. Or if I want to output one of my desktops to my TV for high detail graphics work, sure. Or even if I get fed up with Evolution not being able to sit in the systray, sure, I'll move it to another desktop.
But other then that, I see very little need for other desktops.
Now, the GNOME shell is more or less designed with multiple desktops in mind. Worse then that, the interface as it currently stands means I have about a third of my screen cut out.
Now, here is how I open a program now;
Applications -> GIMP -> Done
Here is how i would open an app with GNOME Shell;
Zoom out ->applications menu -> Gimp -> Zoom in.
The GNOME Shell is detremental, why should I zoom out just to open another app? It's a silly way of doing things and I feel this goes agaisnt one of the features of GNOME, the lack of time required to use the system.
