my reinstallation went well - did not lose any data or valuable

pair my old installation so did not have the key to open with my new

install
and got all my passwords and bookmarks. So now I am on Fedora 17 -
as
usual everything worked out of the box except mobile broadband which
has
never worked since fedora 12.
I am also on Fedora 12 and looking for an upgrade. I have tried
Fedora
17 and couldn't get beyond the Gnome 3 madness, did you get your Gnome
3
to work to your liking ?
no - it is an idiotic interface, but have got used to it. The worst
thing about it is that one cannot open multiple copies of the same
program. Sometimes when programming, I like to have one copy of my
editor open with one file on one monitor and another copy of the editor
open with another file on the other monitor. And I am used to having
icons for all my open programs neatly lined up along the bottom of my
screen, and clicking the one I want. Now I have to keep banging on the
top right of my screen with the mouse to do that ...
