Great, I have Gnome 3 hidden behind i3 WM ;-)
Gnome GUI still creeps through of course, and generally does the trick, although lack of drag & drop system wide is the single biggest fail whale design decision of the Gnome 2 to 3 transition, IMO (if anyone has drag & drop in Gnome 3 without a WM wrapper, chime in, will happily retract the claim if this is i3 specific).
I'd like to go with a Gnome-less stack when I upgrade to Fedora 19, but you know, Gnome, despite its warts does come with a ton of built-in convenience out of the box, so unless I find myself unemployed in the near future (i.e. with time on my hands), Gnome + i3 it will be (i3, BTW, is pretty much a wonder joy of awesome, no pun on that other WM intended).
- yason 13y agoDoes that imply you can actually use any custom window manager with Gnome 3 these days?
- virtualwhys 13y agoIn my experience, yes, have both i3 WM and Awesome WM setup in my fedora 18 + Gnome 3 install. Assume the same for other WMs
- Symmetry 13y agoInstalling xmonad on Ubuntu actually gives you a display manager option for a combined session automatically, which is what I use these days. EDIT: Still requires editing your xmonad.hs to have it play nicely with GNOME, though.
