Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired > E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com There are a lack of configurations. Which make all those neat HUI unusable, like: hey, where should I put my XKBModel. And then dconf-config and Xorg configuration begins. Or how can I type my password in GDM if I'm using dvorak layout? Why new GDM doesn't have a layout selection like old had. And a lot of other simple things. But if I will be able to run xmonad as a wm, I'll stick with gnome3. The interface is really neat.
