There was a version of gnome3 that required you to actually swipe to unlock to get to the password prompt if your screen was locked. Even on a desktop, you had to press left mouse and swipe up. It only lasted very briefly and soon after they made it so pressing any key would show the prompt as well, but to this day I can't fathom what was going throufmgh the head of whoever implemented that. I'm sure the GNOME devs would love to keep it that way, too, but it was so dumb it was unacceptable to Red Hat.
That was the initial GNOME 3 release. By the time they fixed it, I had already switched to XFCE. They believed that desktops were obsolete, and that tablets and phones were the future of computing.
