Well, i could, but my priorities right now lie in the debian kernel
packages, some debian-installer stuff, some parted/libparted work, and
making sure my other packages are ready for the sarge release. So, do
you feel like taking over kernel maintainership, so i dedicate myself in
discussing this with the gnome folk ?
And for your info, i will probably be doing RL work in supporting linux
on the desktop, with gnome as dekstop environment, to some corporate
users, and i am having some real doubt about the quality of our gnome
packages, especially as i am told about problems like esd not being
killed when the user logs out, or the lacking usb-stick support for
example. I will come to this later, but my priorities are hunting
kernel-level bugs right now.

Well, i expected to get the debian gnome maintainers to acknowledge the
problem, but apparently this is not only not the case, and as said, i am
wasting my time. I will thus stop ranting like you and Michael say i am
doing it, and not disturb you anymore. But be sure that i will relay
user usability queries as bug report in the future.
And i still feel that it is the duty of a debian maintainer to be the
interface between the users (and co-developers) and upstream, but maybe
i am dreaming, and not everyone has the same kind of dedication to its
users.
Friendly,
