seems to be a lot of little "gotchas" with gnome3 and Fedora 19 ... is anyone reporting these upstream so that maybe someone will actuallly look at them and maybe fix them??
Hi there! Hope this thread isn't dead... I have exactly the same problems. Fedora 19: 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64 GNOME Shell: 3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64 Gedit: 3.8.3-1.fc19.x86_64 1)With no special wright Acces to all my plugins (texte coloration/backscreen color etc...) But impossible to save as root. 2)Using root privileges with administrator account "$ sudo gedit" That give no access to the drop down menu from top panel. No plugins available in this mode. 3)Connect as root After connect as root with "su" "# gedit" That give me access to the drop down menu (Preferences / Quit). Stil no plugins available with this mode. So that's just a comment to say u'r not alone :) And i'll be happy to be able to use gedit as my new Text editor for codes. Everywhere in my HD. ;) Martus
