Full ACK. On older computers GNOME 3 could cause performance issues for video editing and audio production. On my relative modern computer I experience that GNOME 3 in fallback mode is - unstable, sometimes it freeze and I need to push the reset button - missing icon themes - even existing themes don't work, e.g. - the white mouse cursor is black - there's black text on black background - there's white text on white background - ... - disability of graphic design seemingly it were no graphic designers, but software coders who do all the bad shadows and colour gradients. - Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
