Still some mysteie about FC15
 

Well I was on vacation so I only installed FC15 today.
And some strange tings occurred.
1, The wiki pages on systemd say that chkconfig --less
does not work. That is not true. I know its a wiki and I can make
changes. Well maybe sometime.
2. The method for making the cursor's focus become active when you move
the cursor onto a window is well hidden. Why should that be. As far as I
can find the only way to do that is to install gconf-editor and change
/apps/metacity/general/focus_mode from clean to sloppy. That is not too
obvious. Does anyone know another way to do it?
3. Someone needs to give the Gnome3 people a lesson on instructional
videos. They go too fast so the use of workspaces and lining up 2 widows
next to each other are still a mystery. Does anyone have better
explanation of these topics.
4. Why are things like gnotes not installed by default?

That is enough for now. I will keep working on it.

--less? Do you mean --list? If so, the latter really isn't accurate.
It even warns about that:

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
systemd configuration.

Not yet.

$ gconftool-2 --set -t bool /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise true
$ gconftool-2 --set -t int /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise_delay 700
$ gconftool-2 --set -t string /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode mouse
(defaults to "click")

I click'n'hold a window's title bar and move the mouse pointer against the
screen's left or right border. The 50% area the window will take, if I
release the mouse button, is displayed on the screen with a blue overlay.

"gnote"? Can't answer that. Probably it isn't integrated well with the GNOME Shell yet.
