Switching to ion3

As I said previously, Gnome has been annoying me for a while, and I've been looking out towards 'something better'. Although I had received quite some suggestions from various people, the only thing I really tried is ion3; I've seen a fair number of people use it in Helsinki, and had already gotten interested in this quite different user environment.

I must say it's something completely different; as you might've guessed by the fact that I used Enlightenment and Gnome before, the look of my screen is something that has always been of quite some importance to me; and, unless I'm missing something, this ion3 thing doesn't even allow me to specify a wallpaper. Of course it's not that I didn't expect that when I prepared the switch, but it shows what a huge difference there is between what I'm used to and what I'm getting myself into.

Other than that it is totally non-pleasing for the eye, using ion3 is going pretty smoothly to me. Then again, I haven't made the switch totally unprepared—I'had tried it out in Xnest beforehand. Which worked, mostly, except for the fact that gnome was messing with my keyboard settings and that, thus, some keybindings didn't work. But that's now an annoyance of the past...
