Well, welcome Harald, we're happy to have you here. However mailing
lists ending -devel usually are about the actual development (writing of
code), so user questions are best off in gnome-list.

I don't personally know if your right, but you can try looking yourself
in either the gnome mailing list archives
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ , or by searching bugzilla
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/query.cgi .

I do know however that even if we don't offer feature X, we do want to
make sure you can still get your work done with GNOME, which sometimes
means you can do Y which does the same thing but easier. ;)

For example, if your worried about screen real-estate, I set my panels
to autohide with only one pixel showing. If you have an app that doesn't
use the 'fullscreen' WM hint properly, then its a bug with the app, not
GNOME.

Anyways, reply on gnome-list gnome org with more details if you want to
discuss it.
