Some Gnome 3 Hints

General Tips

Many Gnome3 changed settings apply immediatly. For those claiming to require a restart or logout+login, usually restarting the shell is satisfying: Alt-F2rEnter. This also seems to make some software updates count faster.

HowTo ...

How to switch modal dialogs from attached to decorated+movable (gconf-editor, /desktop/gnome/shell/windowsattach_modal_dialogs)

How to include the 2nd monitor in workspace switching (gconf-editor, /desktop/gnome/shell/windowsworkspaces_only_on_primary)

How to reduce the time after which Alt-Tab shows the window list (watch out for the comment about POPUP_DELAY_TIMEOUT in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/altTab.js)
