Weird pointer behavior in F19
I've been running F19 on my laptop since pre-Alpha, and I've got it fully up-to-date. Starting yesterday I started noticing strange issues with the pointer on some applications - mainly epiphany, gedit and evolution - and was wondering if anyone else is seeing similar issues. * The first thing I noticed yesterday was in epiphany. In a given tab, the pointer would get stuck in a certain context (i.e., would remain as the hand or cursor bar after mousing over a link or text), as long as that tab was in focus (including the scrollbar). Other tabs or windows would not exhibit this problem, but the problem would persist when switching back to the problematic tab. Refreshing the page seems to make the problem go away for a time. * Scrollbar behavior - another intermittent issue has been a problem interacting with the scrollbar using the mouse. When dragging a scrollbar with the pointer, the scrollbar will stay put and the viewport will not change until the mouse button is released. Sometimes this is accompanied by an inability to scroll the viewport with the scrollwheel. I've had this issue in all three of the above-named apps, but it seems to come and go with no predictable pattern. * Inability to select text by click-dragging - in windows/text views(? not sure of the technical terms here) in which the scrollbar issue is present, it is impossible to select text by clicking and dragging with the mouse. I can click-and-release in a spot to set the cursor, then shift-click at another point to select a block of text, or double- and triple-click to select words and lines, but not simply drag. * Disappearing pointer in gedit - this morning I also noticed that while working in gedit, the pointer will disappear when I start typing in a document. The pointer will remain invisible while within the document pane, it will only show up when moving outside the editing pane. Saving the document or switching to another tab and back to the original tab will cause the pointer to reappear within the editing pane. While the pointer is missing, I have the same issues with scrolling and selecting described above. Is anyone else seeing similar issues? I'm running an Acer Aspire 5553G laptop, with a USB mouse and keyboard attached.

Evolution has Google calendar support on one system, not on another
I have had fedora 15 installed (clean) on my laptop since the alpha release, and have evolution set up to pull my google calendars. I recently installed the beta on a desktop system using the default desktop pc install settings, and the evolution new calendar dialog is missing options for google and webdav.

I would like to know how to configure the color/ font of the windows title bar? There is basic ability to change font size in the Universal Access settings panel, but its options are limited to four predefined settings. For finer control of font settings, you can use gnome-tweak-tool, which is in the F15 repository. Adjusting the font size for the window title will change the title bar size, fyi. There is currently no simple way to change colors. I'm not sure when theming support will be added to gnome-shell (probably as an extension) but there are some preliminary themes that should work with the current release at http://gnome-shell.deviantart.com/gallery/28081982, and you might be able to get some ideas for tweaking colors and such. My understanding is that everything is css now, so if you're familiar with that, it shouldn't be too difficult to experiment, though I think modifications need to be in /usr/share/gnome-shell/data for now.

Suspend/hibernate on systems that don't suspend/resume or hibernate properly
I've tried following the debate over the change to suspend as the visible and default way of managing power, but have not been able to find any resolution of whether the default is expected to remain so on systems that do not either suspend or resume properly or if this is up to the distributions to handle. My understanding is that gnome 3 default is to suspend, then hibernate after a certain period of time. While I don't think this is necessarily the wrong choice, it currently does not work on my laptop, which does not fully resume after a suspend, and for which hibernate is completely broken. Now, with gnome-tweak-tool, I can at least change the settings for closing the lid, but when I want to power off from the user menu, I still need to press Alt to get that option. Will Fedora 15 attempt to recognize systems that are known not to support the default behavior? And/or is there a way (through gsettings I guess it would be?) for users to change this so we don't have to press Alt every time?

Neither, really: it's the default, and if it doesn't work, the idea is that we fix that (the failure to suspend). Both GNOME and Fedora are not big fans of giant manually-updated blacklists due to previous experience. I can certainly understand that. My understanding is that gnome 3 default is to suspend, then hibernate after a certain period of time. I don't think it does this (hybrid suspend), it just suspends. A bit more googling, and all I found was a blog post referring to a #gnome-shell IRC conversation from late February, reporting that devs wanted to suspend, then wake up after 30 minutes and suspend-to-disk. Can't find any other references. AFAIK no, that would require a big ugly blacklist and manpower to maintain it.
