    But if I set this back to overlay-auto:

    Then I still get the overlay-scrollbars even if change the setting there:

    Probably something to do with flashback using unity-settings-daemon instead of gnome-settings-daemon

    In order that others can follow what I'm doing I'll start posting a lot of "thinking out loud" stuff here. In this case I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Trusty final Beta and I want to record what happens when I install 'gnome-panel':

    Code:

    Stay tuned

    Edit #1: First flashback w/metacity login looks good:

    Attachment 251562

    Edit #2: Flashback w/compiz is broken in many ways, but my focus is on the metacity session anyway. Someone else will have to deal with the complexities of compiz. Sorry but that's just the way it is

    Edit #3: I know I'm going to want some additional packages and I'm going to list them one by one:

    I'll probably want to install more but lets see what happens.

    Edit #4: Moving the window management buttons to the right has not changed since my OP:

    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :minimize,maximize,close
    Edit #5: Applying the Shiki-Colors-Metacity theme is the same as Saucy:

    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme Shiki-Colors-Metacity
    Edit #6: Disabling the overlay-scrollbars seems to still work the same:

    Code:
    gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
    But I need to rinse-n-repeat because I think an additional option has been added?

    Edit #7: I disabled the webapps:

    Code:
    gsettings set com.canonical.unity.webapps integration-allowed false
    Edit #8: I used 'gnome-tweak-tool' to set the desktop to display mounted volumes:

    Attachment 251605

    And to set the key sequence for killing X:

    Attachment 251606

    It can also be used for changing themes:

    Attachment 251607

    But I had to use the CLI to restore the missing menu icons:

    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface menus-have-icons true
    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface buttons-have-icons true
    The footprint is a bit larger installing 'gnome-panel' in Ubuntu GNOME:

    Re: GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    I'm editing my OP so it makes sense moving into 14.10 dev, and also so it's useful to noobs. Therefore I need to lump a few things into simple posts that can be referenced easily and just make sense

    The footprint of installing 'gnome-panel' in Ubuntu ATM is quite light:

    The footprint of installing 'gnome-panel' in Ubuntu GNOME is a bit heavier since "flashback" now uses 'unity-settings-daemon' and 'unity-control-center' instead of the GNOME versions of those same packages:

    Re: GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    One of the most troublesome things I've encountered is the inability to backup and restore a total "out-of-box" configuration, or a custom config

    It used to be this easy:

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...0#post11968600

    Now I find myself sometimes having to actually purge entire packages and sometimes even having to reinstall the OS altogether if i mess up

    Any thoughts?

    I see the new 'gnome-panel' is in Trusty-proposed so give me a bit to test thoroughly. It'd be easier if the daily images weren't borked ATM.

    I gained a tiny bit by renaming additional hidden-dots in Home:

    Code:
    lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls -a
    .              .config           .gconf_OLD       Pictures
    ..             .config_OLD       .gphoto          .profile
    .adobe         .dbus             .gstreamer-0.10  Public
    .bash_history  Desktop           .ICEauthority    purge_flashback
    .bash_logout   .dmrc             .local           Templates
    .bashrc        Documents         .local_OLD       Videos
    .cache         Downloads         .macromedia      .Xauthority
    .cache_OLD     examples.desktop  .mozilla         .xsession-errors
    .compiz_OLD    .gconf            Music            .xsession-errors.old
    But that does NOT restore the out-of-box panel configuration so I'm still fiddling

    You can reset gnome-panel settings to default:
    Code:
    dconf reset -f /org/gnome/gnome-panel/
    Than logout and login or restart pc. Or you can simply restart gnome-panel:
    Code:
    XDG_MENU_PREFIX="gnome-flashback-" gnome-panel --replace &

    Re: GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    Comming (at last) from 13.10 to 14.04 with full Ricotz and G3 ppas I've lost flashback...
    Code:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies. gnome-session-flashback : Depends: unity-settings-daemon but it is not going to be installed
    Code:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies. unity-settings-daemon : Depends: gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (< 3.10) but 3.12.0.1-0ubuntu1~trusty1 is to be installed
    Any idea(s) (other than, I presume, purging Ricotz's ppas) how to get {it,them} back...?
    Also, while on that subject, Classic is unusable, it just stall at the entrance... In 13.10 last weeks it was the same as vanilla GnomeShell...
    So, I'm doomed just to use GS, Unity or (better) awesome, razor, etc...
