The only thing I am worried about, for one, is the removal of many useful
configuration options from things like sawfish, or the control-panel...
Changing a window manager requires messing around with the alternatives
system, making sawfish not show the window content requires writing Lisp
code (which is fine for me, as I know it but I helped some 5 people already
to make that change...), same as making it wrap the workspace switching... I
must say that I'm a bit disappointed with this aspect of GNOME2... It used
to be so wonderfully configurable using the UI.
My question is - are there any plans to make "advanced" interfaces for those
control freaks who want to modify their configuration and not always have
time to read the source or documentation (poor, as in the case of Sawfish)
to achieve what they could do with GNOME1.4? Gconf For All(tm) would be
sufficient, I believe :))

greetings,

marek
