Screwtape at
Welp, I managed to cobble together the "GNOME Flashback" desktop with the i3 window manager, so I get convenient, automated window-management with all the GNOME goodies like handling media keys and auto-mounting USB disks.
Unfortunately, it requires dropping a bunch of files in /usr/share (GNOME components don't seem to check /usr/local/share, annoyingly) so I'm not sure how I can package up or document this to make it more widely available.

Did you write any scripts to automate future installs? How about a blog post to document how you did it?
I was trying to be encouraging since what you did sounds interesting, but in my haste to write the comment, I think I came across as demanding. Sorry about that.
