I just tried to refer to the fact that I like to use a window manager separate from the desktop environment. You can't change the window manager in Gnome 3, except in the Gnome 2 emulation mode which I'm using[1]. And while Metacity could be used as an emergency replacement with a good configuration, the Metacity/Mutter in Gnome 3 had serious trouble emulating all the keypresses I needed. Especially Mod4 (or win key) was very problematic and unfortunately I've settled on that key for anything window related many, many years ago. [1] Now that I think of it, Unity also has Unity 2D which might support a regular window manager instead of a compositing one.
