GNOME Flashback continues the traditional desktop interface which was used in GNOME 2.x, but using modern GNOME technologies.

This package provides a helper application for the GNOME Flashback desktop session. This application: - provides the Logout, Reboot and Shutdown dialogs; - provides the Sound, Bluetooth and Power tray applets; - implements screenshot and screencast functionality; - implements input source switching functionality; - draws desktop background and icons; - implements other functionality which was previously handled by gnome-settings-daemon.
