Thanks for telling me about the desktop being gone. I really wondered and am a bit surprised as I thought most people valued and used a desktop area quite a bit. Yes, I opened up my home directory from the places and then opened the desktop folder from there. Actually, I think my desktop was actually a top level folder in my places menu but still, not the same. In fact, I have had launchers on the desktop in the past but I guess I could get them on there again if I wanted. It's just that the desktop was typically addressable from a single keystroke before. Well whatever...
I've heard comments like that before about gnome getting less and less configurable; pretty soon, it will be like that other windows operating system out there.
Though the direction of GNOME where it's getting less and less features and functions isn't something Arch can fix, I agree. It's part of why I like KDE, which is incredibly flexible and loaded. A bit large, though.
