Gnome 2.6: What were you thinking?

[William Michael Grim <wgrim siue edu>]

Okay, what is up with gnome 2.6?  Who's arrogance decided I can't change
settings or even colors in gnome?  Not all your users are stupid, and even
the "stupid" users might be more than a little upset with this.  I highly
doubt many of us want to relearn your entire interface because you made
large UI changes in a _minor_ release.

Anyway, I'm sticking with gnome 2.4 until these issues are resolved.  If
they aren't, I'll regretfully switch to something more usable, such as
wmaker or KDE (and I REALLY hate KDE).  KDE is the whole reason I
originally switched to gnome; I can't take its constant crash screens when
closing programs.

So, anyway, please stop being arrogant and let your users do what they
want.  Who cares if 5% of them choose the wrong colors?  There will always
be stupid people in the world.
