New Neener
I got a new Thinkpad by fortuitous circumstance (I "sacrificed" my old one - gave it to the new sales manager) - P4 2.2, 512 RAM, 40Gb 7200 disk. I also worry not about hardware :)

The GNOME2 thing about fine grained AA is intriguing. I may break down and install it. Dammit Peter!

New GNOME font rendering preferences (570x505px PNG image)
Here's a snapshot of the GNOME2 font rendering preferences panel:

Note the ability to switch between None, Slight, Medium and Full.

New More GNOME2 Font Goodness (273K PNG image)
Fontilus in action on a work PC:

Fontilus is an extension to the Nautilus file manager that gives you drag and drop font management.

Yes, you can drag new fonts into that window and install them.

A minor nit I have is that the font preview panel doesn't seem to respect my desktop font hinting preferences. This is more than offset by the little bit of history that some fonts have embedded.

New Question
Can you gang the toolbars? i.e. put the location window on the same bar as the menu and/or action button?

You can't with Konqueror, which is a major annoyance. IE has a big plus here from my screen-greedy perspective.

New Unfortunately not.
This is, I reckon, down to the layout-oriented design of the GTK2 toolkit.
