Description-en: traditional desktop session based on GNOME technologies
GNOME Flashback continues the traditional desktop interface which was used
in GNOME 2.x, but using modern GNOME technologies.
.
The key parts of GNOME Flashback are the GNOME Panel and the Metacity
window manager. All other components, such as the file manager, the
settings center, and the various applications, come from mainstream
GNOME.
.
GNOME Flashback has lower hardware requirements than GNOME Shell, and
consumes less memory.
.
This package provides the required components for the GNOME Flashback
session. It can be started from a display manager such as GDM.
