Hi all!
Gnome 2.2 is out (it's been over a day now) and it's great to know that two of my major complaints about Metacity (the new window manager) have disappeared. Metacity now supports "stay-on-top" and "stay-below" hints. You can also set your own hotkeys for running commands now (hope it gets that as nicely as sawfish).
Most significant improvements have happened in Nautilus, which I can't say much about since I'm more comfortable with the CLI. Other goodies include program start-up notification (no more checking for disk activity to confirm that your mouse-click had some effect), "Open Recent" action like "Start > Documents"
All of this sounds great. I'm waiting for an opportunity to upgrade :-)

I am using that from Debian Unstable. Normally I use a light weight Environments but the news of GNOME 2.2 release was tempting. I couldn't stop my self.
GNOME 2.2 is really cool. Nautilus is very light now, font ant-aliasing by default. Overall much improved look and feel, and its consistent across all applications (if they use gnome2 or gtk2 libraries).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hmmm. Maybe now I can revert to a graphical file manager after two years of abstinence ;-)

Already have it running since 2 days. ;-) redhat rawhide rpms.
What I like is better keyboard shortcut configurability. So, consistent keyboard short-cuts for icewm/wmaker/kde/gnome for me :)
So, now, it's just my mood which tells me which to use!
