I believe the lack of a reasonably consistent UI among all Gnome Apps needs to
be seriously delt with.  I know that we have all those guidelines and other
things - but apparently no company that is making this software wants to
adhere to those guidelines right now.  I think if things were more like
windows in some respects where most of the functionality of programs can rely
on the environment's own UI components instead of proprietary components that
need to be built from scratch, this can be done more easily - but this is an
issue for the programming teams, not the design teams.
