No. I don't recall a splash screen. > I am just responding to a post that suggests a Welcome dialog box in a > freshly installed distro with GNOME Shell as the desktop.

I don't think so; it is a reasonable idea IMO [but I doubt it will make much difference, people in a hurry click-through splash pages]. > If not, then your gnome3.org point is moot as this has something to do > with new users to get them informed of what's new and what's not. It isn't moot; GNOME3 being a mysterious surprising and haphazard change-for-the-sake-of-change has been claimed several times. When... <http://www.bing.com/search?q=gnome3&go=&form=QBLH&qs=n&sk=> - note the *first* result. That site is also a prominant link from <http://www.gnome.org/>. That site is the first link found at <http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero> (which is the third search result). If someone is shocked by GNOME3 or claims they don't know the reasoning for the changes - they did not take any time at all to go look [so not knowing is a rather inevitable condition]. So anyone coming here [Hey, they found this list!] and making that claim is bogus IMO. They can disagree with GNOME3, but claiming it is surprising or unexplained is just pure crap. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
