He's just tired... It's *very* hard being the maintainer of a hugely popular
piece of software. He has a new job, and handling the audience that GNOME
has is not really his greatest interest at this point.

Which options do you "need" and why? GNOME is not continuing down it's old
path of having fifty million unique preferences and no consensus on sensible
behaviour.

We're definitely aiming for tight integration (why wouldn't we?) but there's
no one standing in the way of (whilst there's plenty of people interested
in) an advanced window manager selection capplet (it would probably end up
in the Preferred Applications capplet).
Most of your questions would be best answered on GNOME's desktop-devel-list,
rather than the Debian package maintainer's list.
