gnome spartan mode is too spartane

Hi,

I have just installed 12.1 RC2 under vmware. Boot is surprisingly fast.
However gnome complains that the display is not powerful enough and leaves
me in a kind of degraded display, similar to the one I’m used to as gnome 2
(I forget the exact wording, and login again doesn’t produce them).

I can live with that, but right clicking on the panels above and below I
see no contextual menu, no way to add the applets I’m used to.

Is that correct, no applets?


Cheers / Saludos,
