Good for you.

Then i will, especially for you, explain why i included those 2 other
lists (3 in total now)

fodora-general list
-------------------------
this list is included because this concerns the general fedora public
and to give it a more then just developer attention

fedora-devel list
-------------------------
this list is included because is where "features" for new fedora
released belong. if you want it or not this thread belongs there as
well.

gnome usability list
-------------------------
it is a setting in nautilus that i want to see with a different
default value and it affects the usability (in a positive way) for
gnome so that's why i included this list

and i had: nautilus list
-----------------------------
I first had this list included as well but somewhere it got dropped of
by someone.. don't know who or why and doesn't matter much. changes in
nautilus need to be in that list so this message does belong there as
well.

And if this pisses you off, this really valid discussion, then you
probably just need to pass it.

Calm down.

As Olav mentioned in his email, there's one- and only one- way to properly solve this, and that's a usability study. I don't know if anyone has done a study in the past, but "I think users like it my way better" can only get so far. [1]

To all other ppl. please keep the usability list included since this
really is something they should be aware of.
