Newer Gnome on older laptops?

[Patrik Bubák]

I had to switch to fglrx, because FOSS drivers made the shell even
slower as it was.

Now that I disabled a handful of extensions the shell runs like wild
horses :D

Thank you all :)

Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it
the Ice Cream Principle. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one
condition: they all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is going
to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on
what's cool or interesting, they agree on what's easy to agree on.
