The problems only happen when the people don't agree on the behavioural
solution, or maybe don't care.
When is gnome going to not switch to a uniform colour background in
between the background set in gdm and the one set in nautilus/gnome ?
This is clearly a bug, it was possible to configure it in gnome 1 so
that this did not happen, sure you had to configure it in 3 places
(gnome, nautilus and gdm if i am not wrong), but it worked. Now, there
are only 2 configuration possibilities and it does not work.
Same goes for gshutdown in gnome 1. You could make a shutdown button on
your desktop, which called sudo gshutdown, and it worked, in gnome 2
there is no more gshutdown, and the shuting down from the gnome panel
does not work, except for redhat shiping gnome.
It is all nice to say don't give optione/preferences/features/whatever,
just do it right, but the problem appear when you forget to do it right
afterward, either because the gnome people don't really care and it is
not high in the priority list, or if they feel that different about what
how it is supposed to 'just work'.
