[MLUG] Fedora 15 ideosynchracies.

[aaron d]

Just go back to gnome 2 if that is what you want, or better still, use xfce.
They have no intention of leaving fallback mode as an option down the road
(at least not in such an easy to enable setting), so if you don't like it,
you are better off finding a more viable long-term solution. Xfce is very
mature, lightweight, simple and has excellent tools that work every bit as
well as the gnome2 counterparts. It also looks and functions almost exactly
the same.

System is not shown on the dropdown menu.  I have not found a way to force
system to appear.
