Ok then - so then the debate here should not be about gnome 3 missing
features - we all agree - that should be an upstream discussion.

The discussion should turn to what the default desktop should be - in
the past it was gnome 2 - gnome 2 is dead and we now have 4 desktop
managers to choose among (gnome 3 being just one).

So - lets choose the default desktop manager for fedora from among:

Gnome 3
KDE
XFCE
LXDE
? Other?

How do we go about changing from gnome 2 to one of the above- since
gnome 3 is not gnome 2 it should be on equal footing from above list -
should this be by a vote on a website - discussion - fesco - what?

What is the best mechanism for the fedora community to choose the
default desktop?

May the best desktop win :-)

...so, if we actually get a vote that counts, I'd say XFCE.

Of course, this is *my* personal opinion. There were technical choices
the Gnome team made that I have never been happy with, but until v3 the
interface worked the way I wanted so I used it and now it doesn't so I
don't. I am now looking at the other desktops and so far XFCE come
closest *my* preferences. Pick what you like, vote with your keyboard.
