I've yet to see a novice user that think this feature is especially
useful. Besides, this is just one of the "I love this feature, why are you
leaving it out"-debates. There have been lots of these debates, and if the
team should cave over just half of them, GNOME would end up a
horribly cluttered interface, like the dialogs for Sawfish at least used to be
(*shudder*).

The feature is still available, although the panel-menu should probably
follow the setting. I think there is a bug about it, but it is NOT worth
delaying the entire GNOME 2.0 just because of this. There are actually
worse things put off to GNOME 2.0.1.
