> you willingly brought your car to the dealer for an upgrade which you knew nothing about. ... You just blindly did the upgrade. So why is this the dealer's fault?

Because I've bring my car in for this maintenance every six months without trouble. The dealer knew that this one was going to be brutal but didn't say anything ahead of time and had no plans for expected problems.

You can't seriously be suggesting end-users should bench-test every new release in a VM? What a waste of time that would be! The day distros demonstrate this much contempt for their users is the day I'll reluctantly buy a Mac.

According to the Gnome team, focus-follows-mouse wasn't dropped. The release notes mention fixes in 3.2.

On re-reading, I realize my post is too one-sided. Just wanted to make it clear that I'm not saying that Gnome or Fedora have all blame here, just some of it. Next time, when presented by a huge upgrade like this, I hope they spend some time to make the transition go smoother. Flag days will always suck.

Fallback mode was good but seems to have suffered a lot of the same driver problems as Gnome 3.

Fallback mode uses exactly the same driver paths as Gnome 2 did.
