I think you are reflecting a subset of users priorities. I've switched users from desktop to desktop and they don't care a jot about flashiness in fact many like simple but pretty which is perfectly do-able with almost any window manager, what they hate is a) things moving too much that they can't find b) not being able to do what they want or things disappearing Looking Flashy is always enticing but not at any functional expense and limited performance expense. Gnome 3 is getting both a and b wrong. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together.
