Some thoughts from a quick skimming of the wiki page and the test cases: - the volume control applet is now launched with 'gnome-control-center sound', and not 'gnome-volume-control'. - the desktop menus test case needs to be updated for GNOME Shell (you probably already know that) As for new test cases, I think it'd be nice to bulletproof some of the more stable shell/control-center user interfaces at this stage...here's a brief list of ideas: - bluetooth: try connecting to a device and sending/receiving files from it, using the system indicator provided by GNOME Shell - background: try changing desktop background from the control center widget, possibly covering all the fill options - date and time: try changing date/clock time and timezone, and make sure the shell picks up the changes correctly - display: verify that dual monitor configurations work correctly with the shell and the options provided by the control-center Display widget work fine - chat: make sure the shell-provided "inline" chat notifications work as expected Regards,

Not sure this is a potential test case material though.

We might want to make sure users actually can install it first and that means testing on a real hardware. The good news are that I can finally boot into the desktop live image desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso ( contains kernel which has disable TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE ) The bad.. Trying to run liveinst or anaconda fails ( 3 bugs filed ) Out of curiosity how do you expect users to set their preferences in Gnome Shell I could not find an easy way to access it so I ended up opening up a terminal to set my keyboard layout.

It's maintainers responsibility to make note of these changes since they are the one that know what the old behaviour was and how the new behaviour is.
