5 -Many Gnome3 changed settings apply immediatly. For those claiming to require a restart or logout+login, usually restarting the shell is satisfying: {{code language="none"}}Alt-F2{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}r{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}Enter{{/code}}. This also seems to make some software updates count faster.

7 7  Some of the tips may apply to only Gnome 3.0 and 3.2, be aware of the switch from {{code language="none"}}gconf{{/code}} to {{code language="none"}}gsettings{{/code}} (or whatever).
