Well, I'm not trying to start a GNOME/KDE war. Both are inadequate. I
happen to think that GNOME is on a better course than KDE, but that is
up for debate. What I can say is that if all of the developers were
working in a unified manner, we'd get a lot more done.

Yeah... gconf_edit. No big deal. GNOME's configuration system is the
same as KDE's is basic style, all GNOME did was provide a familiar
interface to edit hidden stuff with. If you prefer, you can edit the
XML files, just like in KDE to get to such features.

You can disable it with just a few clicks in gedit_conf or you can get
a little "pro config" tool. I cannot remember the info off hand, but it
was really simple.

Admit it, you just don't like GNOME. :-)
