Well, GNOME 3 is starting to really bug me off. One simple update to the ports tree, and suddenly things like editors/gedit start to think that they know better than me how I would like their border decoration or where the close button for a window shall be. Close buttons belong to the top-left corner, not next to other buttons. Also, the title bar is not supposed to have 10% of the screen estate, you designers! And it would be cool if the toolkit would take some hints about what sliders and stuff were set to look like. If I wanted to run applications carrying a huge baggage of layers upon layers, not heeding the look and feel of the preferences set, not operating like expected (like, where the fuzz has the menu gone?), then I can use even more advanced bloatware under Wine. That also does not look like it belongs, has weird shortcuts, comes with several layers of abstraction and is said to be designed with the user's experience in mind. As an old D&D nut, I know that experience is dealt out when fighting evil things, so that adds up at least. But this nanny-layout is starting to make Xfce unusable.
These tools, which now look intrusive on my desktop, are now scheduled for replacement. Or is there a way to beat them into submission?
