[NCLUG] GNOME 3.x

[Kerry Miller]

Hi People,

Thank you Michael, I had loaded gtweak and that didn't do what I 
expected but "gnome-tweak-tool" is one I had used successfully on an 
other Fedora 17 with GNOME-3.x so maybe I am finally getting some where.

It would be nice if I could reset GNOME 3.x to its original settings 
sense I have been trying different things.
