Some development work is not possible right now on Saucy. Cinnamon (which
I work with) is not in repo, GTK3 just got updates that remove many

with a lot of pinned packages, GTK3 among them, and my development
partition
for a Cinnamon meta is based on a Raring image avaialble at the time.
This might get worse as Mir development picks up in the future, and
remember that package-pinning would on a fresh install have to be all the
way
back to the previous version of Ubuntu and not the lasst good intermediate
version. I really hope this situation gets resolved, as right now I'm
seeing
package after package being removed from repo and even more that Synaptic
would remove on an unrestricted update for reasons of compatability.
A little bit hard on the community.
I installed linuxmint to try things out on cinnamon. Cinnamon crashes with
my system and goes into fallback mode. Or I can start cinnamon in a
software rendering mode (very slow). Mint also has the Mate DE available
so I installed that as well. The mate menu is sick... err or something. It
doesn't seem to be following any of the XDG menu files I have tried
playing with at all. The slow cinnamon seems to have the same menu as
gnomeshell with the extension. Maybe there is a better menu extension out
there that does better. Fallback mode works very well with a fixed config
menu. I am thinking these are based on gnome shell 3 but not the latest
one which of coarse has no fallback mode... as I found with ubuntu gnome.
