I have just "upgraded" from 11.04 to 11.10, and it has been yet another deeply unpleasant upgrade experience from Ubuntu.

Gnome 3 is the main problem this time. None of my Gnome 2 settings from 11.04 have been imported into Gnome 3, and the System>Preferences and System>Administration menus have vanished and all the applications that were under these menus have been just dumped into Applications>Other.

Does anybody know if it is possible to import user settings from Gnome 2 into Gnome 3? Otherwise I will have to follow Linus's example (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linus-ditches-kde-and-gnome-so-what) and use XFCE. It will probably be easier than trying to fix the mess that is Gnome 3.

They moved the system settings over to the right side under your login. I guess this is so people don't fool with them when they're trying to run applications. Actually it looks like it's a nice desktop and I'd prefer it to Unity, but unfortunately my video is messed up and I can't get gnome 3 to work right....sigh....
