    Still waiting gnome-shell extensions updates

    Journalctl is still showing warnings about appindicator https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shel...tor/issues/150
    and taskbar is like an abandonware https://github.com/zpydr/gnome-shell...bar/issues/197

    Hopes Didrock will find time to update them very soon

    For taskbar / window list, try tint2 from official repositories. It's simple and does not get in the way.

    Yeah the gnome team is followng a strange way over time: gnome2 was well tuned, then gnome3 was built from scratch, without a gnome2 transition, giving a very basic's DE features. And taskbar can't be fixed due to lack of gnome documentation.
    If they do an inbuilt taskbar equivalent, then its ok, i can wait a bit, otherwise shame on them.

    Taskbar is going away? Huge bummer! That's what makes Gnome usable IMO. I'm afraid of what the Gnome 3 team's idea of a taskbar equivalent might look like.
