An Early Look at GNOME 3.0 (Linux.com)

Nathan Willis takes GNOME 3 for a test drive. "Plenty of low-level stuff is in there, too, even though you might not see it. GNOME is migrating away from the old gconf configuration system to GSettings, which uses dconf and will enable new features like PolicyKit. The "preferences" and "administration" menus from GNOME 2.x have been combined into a single control-panel application. There is also a new window manager named Mutter, which combines the existing WM features of Metacity with compositing like that done by Compiz."
