@silviosa: I watched a flick on utube about gnome-shell, and I learnt that the magic about it is the windows key. You earlier told me you need to fast go into various apps. As a matter of fact, I now have gnome-shell running and all apps on desktop. I just click on the app and start whatever program I want. I guess I set up my desktop in fallback mode and told the settings to let nautilus handle the desktop and put icons on the screen to click on, then i disabled fall back, and voilà, a gnome-shell with clickable apps on desktop. I also have clearlooks red exit window theme and gnome 2.18 icon themes, so it is possible to make gnome-shell functional for everyday use. I guess the problem with us often is, we don't wanna learn new stuff, because it steals valuable time. But how ever much we struggle against development and try to conserve everything as it is, we fail. But it took me this long to give up and give gnome-shell a decent spin. And as I said in the beginning, not at all as bad after doing a 10 minute watch on utube.

Maybe remove cinnamon from AUR is to drastic but @linfan is write about everything else. I try kdm as I told. No way. It crashes frequently. So, I stop playing: XFCE and back to productivity.

Geeez, Linus does not use Arch but Fedora, let's remove kernel as it it built on Fedora and not Arch ...... Please stop that nonsense.

I hope I will be proven wrong, who knows, but cinnamon is built on gnome-shell and that in a debian based distro. Archlinux is not a debian based distro, so there will always be some necessary changes needed to adapt it for archlinux... and the whole carousel is spinning endlessly, either gnome does something to make cinnamon unusable or then linuxmint, like we have seen already. Only if gnome will adopt cinnamon and work for it, will I be convinced that it will be something worthwhile.

@linfan: WTH? Except the upgrade from gnome 3.2 to 3.4, I had no issues with cinnamon. Last week, I used gnome-shell with some extensions, it was annoying shit. Last year, I used KDE for some months: Kontact was crashing often, virtuoso took 100% cpu for days (with file indexing disabled), also annoying shit. You're behaving like a little child. "Mehmehmeh, cinnamon doesn't work now out of the box, so delete it from AUR."

@linfan, your remarks are pretentious!! Really?? Install LinuxMint to avoid the problems? Delete it from AUR?? Really?? GNOME 3 is pig puke and needs to DIE!! Cinnamon is the only alternative to GNOME 3 that doesn't suck.. Perhaps Cinnamon is taking off way faster than the developers expected and they're working to resolve the painful issues that are happening right now. But advocating removal simply because you don't want to invest any effort to solving the problem, is wrong on so many levels.

I am now convinced after googling quite a bit, that it is not wise to build cinnamon at all outside of linuxmint. Both archlinux and gnome have their own schedules to follow. To force gnome or any distribution to hold back on their development due to linuxmint to catch up would be really silly. I even advocate that the whole cinnamon project be deleted from AUR as it is very linuxmint centered and has nothing whatsoever to do with any other distro. It was nice as long as it worked, but guys, ubumpoo patches and hack patches, is that really the way to go? If you want cinnamon, why not install linuxmint, where it belongs.

@linfan: No, e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55560 downloads the theme from cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com.

I am now using xfce4. Not as fancy looking as gtk gnome, but fully functional. @bjo: the AUR cinnamon themes pkgs try to download from github, which does not exist. Ofc, I know you can install them directly in home dir .themes, but why spend hours trying to save cinnamon, by patches and manual labor for hours and not once but almost every day?
