Well, I've gone into a lot of detail about what I think about that.
I haven't heard your rebuttal.

We just need to agreen on a list of which options vanish in dummy-mode.
So far, I think you've only mentioned the command-line, and the colormap
option.

Ok, but let's stay on topic, here.

My top priority is getting to a state where there is only one
configurator.  That means we need to get past the hurdles related
to that.

You say that it would be nice to prune the list, or to have multiple
lists.  However, neither my configurator nor yours have that feature
at the moment.  So that can't be a reason to prefer yours over mine.

So let's add that to the list for future improvements, but deal with
it *after* the problem of there being multiple configurators is
resolved.

I would love to.

Where do I find x86 RPMs that I can load onto a system that is
Red Hat 7.0 plus recent Red Carpet updates?

I have never had any luck building beta GNOME stuff from source,
so if you don't have binaries, can you show me screenshots instead?
