<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yes, I wait and if >=3.8 has 2D
support (>=Gubuntu 13.10), many can use it, otherwise they
would have to try other desktops (I probably am going to try
Xubuntu, Xfce first). It's not so much the interface, it's the 3D
that's too much for my(our) notebook(s). So replacing the 2D
interface in GNOME 3.8 by extensions and having 3D acceleration is
unfortunately not a solution: Notebooks consume more power then
and on the persons I know, the fan is always <u>very</u> loud
then, mine too, but I'm kind of repeating myself.<br>
Still, thank you for your work.<br>

<pre wrap="">Well, GNOME itself is dropping the "GNOME Classic (no effects)" session in favor of a new 'mutter' based classic session which I find quite impressive. In fact Jeremy Bicha already renamed the sessions in 13.04 to take this into account. But 13.04 will still ship GNOME version 3.6 so the "legacy classic session" will work in 13.04 if you install the proper packages.
There are however some conflicts ATM if you use the GNOME 3 PPA to get version 3.8 and I've simply had no time to even look into that. It would be somewhat foolish to do so right now since Canonical is talking about changing the support period for interim releases between the LTS releases.
My personal advice is to stick with Ubuntu 12.04 which can easily be tweaked to use the session you want, and 12.04.2 even shipped with the Quantal kernel and an updated X-stack so you should easily be able to rely on Precise until we get things sorted out :^)

Regarding the 2D support removal for
3.8 and later: I like the 'GNOME
Classic (No effects)' mode as it is, so maybe a 'simple'
(=adding always
this same mode) patch for 3.8 and later would be enough and
not much
work. Oh, and even better: GNOME Team, do not remove this
mode ;) *3D
doesn't belong on desktop, to much power use, too loudly
fans*
Thanks, clear so far.
