Yay! The magic word is "tiling". To thwart a fool, you must talk like a fool ... ---- Next, to get rid of the hot-corner behavior (which is still accessible through the "windows" key on the keyboard) for my redhat-style machine I had to do two things: 1) yum install gnome-shell-browser-plugin This allows firefox to install gnome-shell plugins - which seems insecure to me, but that's the way they do it (even though firefox doesn't permit to use older versions of java and flash, but doesn't help me update them ... ). 2) surf to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/118/no-top-left-corner/ and move the slider switch to "on" That stops the annoying corner behavior. I feel better now, though there are still dozens of things to fix: java, disable iTunes application detector, add functionality back to the top bar (like system monitor), etc. My strategy will be to get Gnome-Classic to a minimally usable state over the next few months, but use MATE as long as it is available. Oh, and donate $200 to the MATE project, hopefully to help prolong that availability. That is more important than fixing my car. Keith P.S. regards XFCE and others - interesting options, but the distro I run (Scientific Linux) is tied to GNOME, and I do not want to give up hundreds of useful packages and addons in an attempt to escape Gnome 3 foolishness. When the providers of those tools leave in disgust, so will I. -- Keith Lofstrom kei...@keithl.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
