12 Tips for GNOME Users

| As a desktop, GNOME is standard enough that most computer users can feel 
| comfortable within ten minutes of first using it. Yet what always puzzles me 
| is how often people fail to explore it beyond the basics. Possibly, they're 
| conditioned by Windows, which allows relatively limited customization. But, 
| whatever the reason, too often they stoically endure what they could fix if 
| only they could find their way around.

| grouper plugin and tabbed windows
| 
| The grouper plugin allows you to join various windows into
| groups, and perform actions on all the windows as one. For
| example, if you resize one window in a group, all windows are
| resized. If you move one window in the group, they all move.

| scale plugin and the four desktop corners
| 
| Because the four corners of the desktop are the easiest parts to hit
| with your mouse, it makes sense to try and put some form of useful
| action in each of the four corners.

| Problem is, I spread my applications across all 4 desktops, so
| that things feel uncluttered when I'm working on an application.
| However, when you want to keep an eye on several applications at
| a time, it's impossible - except, if you have beryl. What I do
| is set one of the corners of my desktop to activate the scale
| plugin to show all windows from all desktops (see here for a
| more detailed explanation). I also make sure that it shows
| minimised windows.
