Well, I really don't understand the Gnome Developers sometimes, they 
implement the nicest features, but
forget the basics, or do only a half. As a new user you are totally lost 
using Gnome when you want to do essential Things.

You have the possiblity to add a news tab in nautilus, but you do not 
have the possibility to add a icon on the desktop by
doing a right click on the deskop background like you could with GMC.

BUT if you use gmc, then it is very easy to change the background using 
the control center. What is the next question when
you've changed the background from black to white ?? Yes, exactly how to 
set the font color to a opposite color or a good contrast.
Now you have to create a gtkrc.mine to this thing, gmc nor control 
center couldn't do this for you.
Also if you want a bigger font, you have to recompile gmc.

The Heck, could anybody tell me how someone could forget these features 
? I really wonder that the study Sun made did not figure this out.
