+For me space is not an issue with my 24 inch monitor. I am actually looking at a bigger one, being spoiled at work with two monitors, one of them being  30 inches.
+
+I had made the mistake of not blocking gnome 3 stuff and accidentally had it installed on my old gentoo. I spent several days trying to recover from the damage and found it so much a pain that I decided to recreate the whole OS on another partition. Since 
+I had a 480G free partition and a 100MB free partition , that was not a big deal.
+
+In gnome 2, I have a bar on top and one on the bottom. On top I have pull down menus and icons and on the bottom the information on which app is open. Gnome 3 removed all that stuff and makes the desktop completely useless. I had fits when I saw the damage 
+and I couldn't wait to swap it with kde. Luckily I had it installed. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to do the switch. I couldn't stand how slow kde was so I switched to Mageia which had gnome 2 as a desktop.
+I had fits when I saw that Mageia is getting ready to replace gnome 2 with gnome 3. This why I went back to gentoo. There is no way in hell that I will accept gnome 3 in its current form on my PC.
+
+I had a strange issue in kde, when I clicked to open a terminal I woud get the equivalent of the microsoft hour glass for what seems to be quite a while. In gnome 2 the opening of the terminal is almost instant. I have the same problem in Fedora 15 and gentoo.
+
+I am curious to know, is it the same on mageia? I haven't installed kde on Mageia so I have no way of knowing.
