That's the whole point of GNOME right now.
Take away the users options, put "in SANE" defaults on and then laugh as advanced users try to use the crap.
I've given up on GNOME and KDE for easy config for me.
Just for the record: I want my basic, medium, power and advanced options back. Like it was in GNOME 1.4.
But, I want all the advancements that GNOME2.V+ give me.
No, Peter, don't respond to this, we already agree to disagree on this.
