[ale] gnome3. I give up.

[Rich Faulkner]

Actually, that would be an interesting question but only to know what
Linus uses.  Now as to whether we should all join hands and follow Linus
in unison sounds a little too much like a M$ thing.  

The market will determine what survives and what gets changed.  Even in
the GNU-world order we have that logic don't we?  I just don't see
anything that motivates me to make a change...certainly not in the
interest of getting into the new hotness.  Still I'll give FC15 a try
with legacy Gnome/Compiz (not a KDE fan).
