Pour: <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">distributor-list at gnome.org</A>
Copie: GNOME release team &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">release-team at gnome.org</A>&gt;

I'm writing to inform you that the release team discussed
<A HREF="https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features/DropOrFixFallbackMode">https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features/DropOrFixFallbackMode</A>
yesterday. We've come to the conclusion that we can't maintain
fallback mode in reasonable quality, and are better off dropping it.
&gt;<i>
</I>
Really short-sighted, if the display performance problems aren't solved.
The processor-intensive extras are really just eye candy, and should be 
optional, depending on the resources available.  Instead of forcing 
software emulation of hardware acceleration of display in order to use 
regular (non-fallback) mode, it should instead use hardware acceleration 
if available only where it could produce significant performance gains.
And certainly not for display in a virtual console, which becomes 
extremely slow.

The reorganization of the default screen layout can be largely reverted 
if desired by ajusting the configuration and/or using already available 
extensions, so that isn't a problem.
Although the configuration programs don't yet work coherently, and some 
aspects don't work at all (at least in fallback mode which I'm forced to 
use.)

The tablet-style gtk+ themes currently available are anything but 
user-friendly for those who want a readable compact space-efficient 
display on normal sized displays.  But that is bound to improve, as more 
gtk+2 themes are ported to gtk+3.
(But the light-switch-type icons in place of check boxes is weird and 
easily misunderstood.)
As one gnome developer said recently in his blog, the gnome interface 
design team are seriously out of touch with those who work on their 
computer.
