In the next version they'll remove the mouse pointer altogether. It's too confusing for users, as evidenced by this bug.

Since I often have to work with uncustomized GNOME desktops - nope.

You have a stronger psyche then me, that would drive me crazy :) There are 2 extensions I require and without them I would find GNOME3 extremely painful.

In anycase, I will not miss these statuses as I never use them. I am not even sure what they are, but if these are the Icons used for Notifications (via notify-send) I hope the new version is similar to what KDE4 does.

I wasted an entire evening yesterday trying to figure out why tabs were missing in my shiny new gnome-terminal (upgraded from older distro). When I did eventually figure out how to get them, the tabs can't be renamed. Wound up using mate-terminal or kde konsole.

They've made things hard by trying to make things simple.

So what did you need to do to get the tabs back to gnome-terminal?
