Holy fucking Hell, what happened to the GUI in Debian ? [View all]
There's a new "Activities" button in place of the Application and Places menus. Clicking on it takes you into a workspace-oriented mode, with all your open windows shrunken to illegibility, a dock on the left, and a list of workspaces on the right. Every time you want to launch a new app, you have to go into this mode again -- very inefficient and awkward. If you go into the Advanced Settings and browse through the Shell Extensions, you'll find an Application Menu extension at the very bottom of the list. Turning it on creates a Gnome (footprint) menu where the Application menu used to be. The new menu is uglier and more awkward.
If anyone knows how to kill this Activities menu/workspace, I'd like to hear about it. Maybe replace Gnome ??
