[olug] Alternatives to GNOME3

[Kevin]

I just installed Fedora 13, stock windowing system.

I find that I am not a fan of GNOME3, specifically the lack of a
window list/taskbar. I can get around that using alt-tab. However, if
an application has multiple windows open, then only the most recent
one is selectable. I can hover on an application and click on the
window I want, but that defeats the whole purpose of using the
keyboard for application-switching.

I would like to switch to another system, but don't know which one I
should switch to. I was a fan of GNOME2's system of picking a
configuration and going with it; KDE doesn't rub me right.

I just want things to work, but GNOME3 makes too many compromises in
the way of UI speed. Does anyone know of an alternative to GNOME3 I
should try?
