It works with all the bell, buttons, widgets, function, window behavior, effects... I want. > Which removes features, which is misguided? GNOME. Case goes like this. Peep likes to use feature X in GNOME. Discovers a bug in feature X, files a bug against it. GNOME team(s) look at it, ponder and ask for guidance from the Mighty Jeff Waugh, who then consults in a dark and cryptic language called "sane defaults and user don't know what they need". They then pronounce feature X is deprecated and no longer supported in GNOME, except by another crypotic program called "gconf-tool". This is just an example and might possibly be embellished by the explaining individual (me). Just look and make a call for yourself. > I think I'm misguided :). Using GNOME?
