Hi all,
I've got a load of problems which have only been around since I upgraded to Gnome 3 and these issues seem unresolvable. How can I go back to Gnome 2, where I had none of these issues?
Thanks

Gnome 2 is dead upstream. You would need to either install and older version of LMDE (if such a things exists) or install Debian Stable. Even on Debian Stable it would only be supported for another year after Wheezy gets released, so figure roughly another 18 months then it will be completely without support of any kind.
Have you tried using MATE?

Hi,
Yeah tried MATE on a different computer but the issue is with all the 'little' programs, like the one that remembers SSH passwords, the one that deals with printers and the one that deals with shutting down. Everything used to work perfectly in LMDE and I upgraded and I now have lots of issues and no one can help me with them. I think MATE causes the same problems with a look different?
