That's good. I'm not a GNOME hater. GNOME has been the default
for a long time, and something long established should not be changed
without a good reason. But the withdrawal of fallback mode is, IMHO,
sufficient justification. It looks like they made this change shortly
*before* GNOME dropped support for fallback mode. But it was close
enough that they may have known that it was coming.
