GNOME 3 – The Next Generation Desktop is optimized for speed and productivity. If you haven’t installed the Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 11.10, then you must give it a try – because by default you are using the unity interface of Gnome 3 instead of Gnome Shell (Latest Version : 3.2).
By default, the Overview in Gnome Shell only shows windows from the current workspace.
Is there some way to get it show the all open windows instead?
I'm looking for functionality like that of the Compiz Scale's Spread feature, when used for windows from all workspaces.
Hello,
I have just taken the plunge and installed F17. I stuck with F14 until now, for fear of GNOME 3. But I decided I had to take the plunge.
I've managed to get most things working. But now I need to learn how to use GNOME 3.
Gnome 3.2 was released a few days back. With an improved shell and various other integrations, this shell will please many users.
Gnome 3 with Gnome Shell is not something that everyone would want to try, after being called as "unholy mess" by Linus Torvalds himself [1]. It has a number of shortcomings for a Gnome 2 user; you don't even get a desktop to put your shortcuts or files :'( . Then why would someone still want to install Gnome 3 and try it?
The GNOME Project announced yesterday, October 23rd, the immediate availability for download and testing of GNOME Shell 3.7.1. GNOME Shell 3.7.1 is the first development release towards GNOME Shell 3.8, which is part of the GNOME 3.8 desktop environment, due for release on March 27th, 2013.

I'm trying to get GNOME working the way I'm used to on other machines. I have my preferences set so there are 4 workspaces and the workspace switcher in the bottom panel shows 4 workspaces. When I click on any of them then I go to that workspace, and that all makes sense.
I have ALT-1, ALT-2, etc in my keyboard shortcuts set to 'switch to workspace 1', 'switch to workspace 2' etc.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS AMD64 and GNOME Shell 3.4.1 and for some reason the Alt+F2 keys stopped displaying the Run Command Prompt when pressed.
Now, I've seen the other answers that point you to setting the keys in the
All Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and
the Gnome Compatibility in the CompizConfig Settings Manager
and they are all set.
Even Gnome 3.4 was not exactly a rock, but F18 with 3.6.2 is really buggy.
I got SIG11 on gnome-shell 5 to 10 times per day.
I'm considering to switch on cinnamon, but I one of few person who like gnome-shell, so I cannot decide!
Anyone is experiencing something similar?
Thanks
