Jasper: I received an email from Jesse confirming that he is using Gnome Shell 3.4.1.
The following is quoted from Jesse's email: ... "I am indeed using 3.4.1, confirmed in Looking Glass: r(0) = 3.4.1 Finally upgraded my FC13 system and went all the way to FC17 so all this Gnome3 stuff this is brand new to me. I do have "current version" selected on the website, so I didn't even think that it might be getting extensions that aren't compatible because of version. On one extension I tried to install, the status went to ERROR (in a red box) as you mentioned, but it didn't do that for yours. Would be nice if there was a log file somewhere to see what happened, currently the extension installation is a black box to me." ... This info makes the situation seem a bit stranger. I hope it is useful. Norman On Fri, 2012-06-01 at 10:00 -0400, Jasper St. Pierre wrote: > I'll look into it. Thanks. > > On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:47 AM, Norman L.
