There are several changes where this distribution develops away from classic desktops: - maximized windows use panel instead of title bar - global menu - overlay scrollbars I guess the last two will stay as inconsistencies for a long time (if not someone manages to get the windows menu into the panel), but I thought that maximised windows shouldn't behave different than they used to. However I experienced strange behaviors with many applications: When a window is maximized (= title bar is replaced by panel), the cursor position seems still to consider the height of the title bar. Thus a click on a toolbar icon results in a click event on the icon above; a click on the upper toolbar icon results in a click event for the menu. When you click on the menu, the whole window "jumps out" of the panel and displays as a normal maximized window below the panel. This is the case for Google SketchUp, ACDLabs ChemSketch, etc. This is not the case for Mozilla Firefox 3 (Windows version). Has someone experienced similar things? Is it likely that it can be fixed sooner or later in Wine, or is it rather an issue for Ubuntu?

If you want a look, this page http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/15-Beta/ says where to get it from as an ISO image. Martin[/quote] Now really OT... [Rolling Eyes] Yeh I have watched a promo video Gnome 3. I wasn't exactly awe struck by what was being offered! 8) My current preferred Desktop setup is to use Linux-Mint KDE base (KVM+Kicker) with an GTK AWN dock+DockbarX. In terms of usability, looks and productivity for a 'Poweruser' that combination completely outstrips Windows 7 (which is good in itself and has an excellent Desktop Manager UI). Now if someone could port DockbarX properly to KVM (as a panel plugin) that would be sweet! I have read some of the KVM developer comments and they come over as saying 'we know how the UI should look - you think you want a dock - but you don't really'! The more choice a user is offered the more likely they are to find a setup that matches their particular needs... The Gnome development teams marginalizing of Unity is another really stupid management decision. Mark Shuttleworth was quite clear that he wanted the concepts from Unity to be ported to and available in Gnome as well. It could have been a real win-win situation for the end-users. These development teams need to stop working so much in isolation and actually look at what is good in the other teams portfolios (including 3-party add-ons) and adopt some of them... Bob

Presumably unity in 10.10 was a replacement for that as I did not notice an option to use classic Gnome - presumably because classic Gnome requires more resources and many netbooks use fairly small solid state "hard disks" and limited RAM. Mine actually has a 100 GB hard drive and 1GB RAM so would probably be OK with standard Gnome. Maybe I could have tried 10.04 desktop edition. However, I don't really feel like spending another half day setting everything up again just now so I will live with 10.04 netbook edition for now.
