No, GNOME should be upgraded. I upgraded it twice in the past, and it=E2= =80=99s a lot of work, but certainly not impossible. I don=E2=80=99t know if anyone is working on it right now, though. I was t= old months ago that Raghav Gururajan was working on GNOME upgrades as part of the wip-desktop branch, but my occasional questions for a status upgrade have gone unanswered. Raghav, please correct me if I=E2=80=99m mistaken. It would be good to clarify what is and isn=E2=80=99t the scope = of wip-desktop. We=E2=84=A2 should upgrade GNOME as soon as possible. It=E2=80=99s been st= uck on 3.34 for much too long. --=20 Ricardo
