[mythtv-users] .25 on Gnome 3 and I hate Gnome 3........

[Another Sillyname]

I currently am running a couple of backends and lots of frontends on
Fedora 12/13/14 with Gnome 2 and mythtv .23 fixes.

I tried, no really, I tried and tried gnome 3 on a laptop for a month
and frankly just hated it.  So my myth setup has stayed on what is now
approaching a 2 year old infrastructure environment.

gnome 3 just seems to be determined to work with a 'single task' idiom
and for power users like me that just does not work.  On my laptop I
usually have vlc connections to a number of machines as well as
system/network monitoring tools running...gnome 3 does not lend itself
to this kind of setup.  I'm currently trying F16 with xfce in a VM to
see whether I can get on with that.

Anyway the root of my problem is I need to upgrade my whole
infrastructure if I implement .25 so my question to the list is.....

What Desktop Environment are you using for your .25 setup, if you,
like me are a multi functioning multi tasking user how are you getting
around the problems inherent in Gnome 3?

Thanks in advance.
