gnome classic interface with F17?
 

Deal list
I have installed F17 and I got the *new* gnome interface with allows
to search for application when you move the mouse to the upper left
corner.

Is it possible to configure gnome to work with the *classic*
interface (with panel)

Regards
Adel

This is the new Gnome 3 user interface. If you want a more classic Gnome
2.x interface, you can go to System Settings -> Details -> Graphics and
set "Use Fallback Mode" to on. It's not exactly the same as classic
Gnome, but should be familiar.

The other alternative is to use the MATE desktop, which is a fork of
Gnome before version 3, and the one you used before:

MATE is scheduled for release in Fedora 18:

For now, you can follow theses instructions to get it working:

I may be wrong, but I'm never uncertain.

My pleasure, glad it worked.

For what it's worth, I didn't like the Gnome Shell at first. I decided
to try it for a few weeks, and now I can't live without it. You really
get used to just flinging your mouse into the corner of the screen, or
hitting the Windows key and typing the name of a program.

If you have some time, give it a shot, you might be surprised :)
