I'm looking for that too. When you're in overview, it seems you always have to use the mouse to switch through windows or desktops. Very annoying and it totally breaks the workflow.

To switch workspaces you can use Ctrl-Alt-ArrowUp and Ctrl-Alt-ArrowDown (these shortcuts work both inside and outside the Overview).

To select windows via keyboard I think that the only way is to install the gnome-shell extension "Windows Navigator". It associate a number to each window, which allows you to select them with combinations like Alt-1 Alt-2 etc.

Hmmm, yeah. I changed shortcuts for desktops to Super&Up/Down. That was the problem: You can't use shortcuts containing the Super-Key in Overview... You enter Overview when you press Super and release it, but you get out of Overview by just pressing Super. Anyway, changed back to Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down, that of course works.


It's a bug planet!

Re: gnome unstable repository

@karoshi Maybe you can use the right Windows key to switch workspace ? The Overview uses just the left one.
Edit : Nevermind, you can enter the Overview only with the left one, but you can exit with both of them…

Mmh... yeah it seems a bit asymmetric behavior, but I suspect that's by design. You can try to file a bug upstream against gnome-shell and see what the developers answer, maybe asking for a patch that changes the behavior

Re: gnome unstable repository

I'm running into a problem with the network manager applet under Gnome 3. The icon in the systray is the "no connection" icon. When I click on it, the only option I get is "Network Settings." From there, I can go into wireless and connect to whichever network I would like to. Even when connected, the icon does not change.

I'm really not sure why this is or what I could possibly do about it. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you follow the wiki on networkmanager? You need to install the applet also and you need to start the daemon after dbus

I have it working, but I did not use networkmanager before I installed G3 (I used netcfg). Maybe you should try reinstalling nm and nm-applet?

Notice that this is for GTK2. Don't know if thats the answer/solution.

Is libwebkit or shotwell from testing?

I uninstalled and reinstalled several times with no success, even going so far as to remove them completely rather than just reinstalling them.

Just try to update your shotwell version. Last one ?

[fred@fredo-arch src]$ pacman -Si shotwell
Dépôt                 : community-testing
Nom                   : shotwell
Version               : 0.9.1-2

Community-testing activated or not ?

Re: gnome unstable repository

Anyone know how to get ibus to work with gtk3 application yet?
I tried ibus-git in AUR and it does not work so I doubted that I there are something that must be done to compiling options

As far as I know, the ibus package as well as ibus-git in AUR don't provide the  /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-ibus.so necessary to register itself as an input method among gtk3 application. I tried copy the file /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so in to that place but that just make gtk3 application crash.

I googled for "ibus in gtk3" and got a bunch of ibus-gtk3 rpm package for fedora 14,15,16 which provided the file /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-ibus.so but that file require /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-3.0.so.

So now that I've ran out of ideas. Is there anyone successfully test gnome3 with ibus, I kinda love gnome 3 but have to type into a gtk2 textbox then copy and paste is...

add '--enable-gtk3' to the ./configure line in the PKGBUILD.

Hello, anyone has any idea if there is any list of Gtk applications which were already ported or started to port to Gtk 3? Cheers.

It's default in Ubuntu, not sure about GNOME in general.

I fired up the GNOME 3 Live and found Neither Banshee nor Tomboy included. I guess they may be part of gnome, but not the default one

Re: gnome unstable repository

Hey all, I know that Gnome 3 will hit [extra] "when its ready", but since that is probably very soon, I wonder if anyone has an idea as to when exactly. I figure some people here (devs, moderators, Jan de Groot, etc) might have a pretty good idea. Does anyone have a guess that is presumably accurate?

When its ready. Noone is going to bother to tell you exactly when, because it would be better just to release it....

Re: gnome unstable repository

Does somebody know where hotkeys of gtk3 applications (nautilus, that is) are stored? nautilus-open-terminal has lost its F4 hotkey for some reason (thus has none atm) and can-change-accels gets entirely ignored.

edit: It's ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus, the open-terminal line is already there. One needs to remove the ; at the beginning to uncomment the line and add the desired hotkey.

There are two official GNOME 3 live-cd's, from openSUSE and Fedora. Fedora is known for purging Mono/C# stuff, so you have for example Gnote instead of Tomboy and Rhythmbox instead of Banshee (official openSUSE player long before GNOME 3 came out, btw).
If I remember correctly there is Banshee in openSUSE GNOME 3 live cd.

So some distros will have Banshee and some will stay with Rhythmbox.
