Gnome Shell pain and Gnome 2 deliveranceGnome Shell pain and Gnome 2 deliverancePosted Aug 24, 2011 18:35 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: Gnome Shell pain and Gnome 2 deliverance by jspaleta Parent article: Announcing the release of Fedora 16 Alpha I think the dual-screen behavior is horrific. Happily, though, it's easily turned off if you know the right registry variable to tweak.

Can you tell me which key that is for future reference. If they revert the behavior I'll still want to enable it for myself and just keep on keeping on without making a fuss that the default doesn't fit my preferred workflow.
And while your at it. If you know which key I can use to change the primary desktop from the right-most to the left-most that would be great. I'd actually prefer to have a left most primary monitor and have the pinned monitor on the right. I guess I'd could shake my fist a bit and get all hyperbolic about that bit of default workflow mismatch.

Whether the black bar takes the "primary" designation along with it is not something I've tested.

It seems to me that the fedora projects needs a Gnome Shell tweaking FAQ. Apparently, it already exists: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=263006 (thanks to Google for helping me find it) and http://littlethorpe.net/wordpress/?p=334 and http://chris.wailes.name/?p=111
I really miss having the system monitor tray applet. I use it all the time, on every machine where I use Gnome 2. XFCE doesn't have it, I don't think.
