Odd.  Havoc Pennington said there was an open bug about it.  You'd think
if it were implemented already someone would have closed the bug.  I'll
look.

A Bugzilla bug won't help me today, or even next week.  I'm looking for
a short-term solution.

I'm not trying to have "useful content", I'm trying to ask questions: is
there a hidden way to get the old behavior?  Is anyone outside of
Gnome.org working on Gnome "extra" applets etc. that do more than the
standard ones?

Right.  Like anyone in Gnome cares if I don't use it.  I was making a
point that these features are not just "eye candy", as some would have
it, and instead really matter and have a significant impact on the
productivity of real people.
