Improve quality and usability of Gnome Desktop

  1. Gnome Session manager does not wait for windows to be closed. It just kills them. Other desktop environments wait for windows to be closed gracefully.
  2. Shift+Alt is supposed to switch keyboard layouts. It does not work in Gnome properly.
  3. Gnome Files app is slow at copying / deleting a lot of small files.
  4. Gnome Files app has issues in generating thumbnails for files in network folders.
  5. Gnome Files app is terrible when users manage files as root. Very slow copying. The app constantly is asking for the password in a few mins.
  6. Gnome has some issues in audio: e.g. sometimes, HDMI audio is not available. HDMI audio always works in KDE.
  7. Microphone level indicators don’t work on Settings app.
  8. Dash to panel extension does not switch windows when I drag a file over another tab window on the task panel.
  9. Sometimes, shutdown takes >= 1.5 minutes because some Gnome session process does not want to shutdown.
