This discussion has been held various times before. Please read the wiki
link. The reason I'm forwarding the email is to get feedback about the
impact on Mageia.

Fallback mode is supposed to work exactly like GNOME shell. It doesn't
in practice, but that was not the intention.

I don't think that bit is ontopic for a Mageia development list.
