:) I agree with John, that there is nothing in particular here.
Gnome 2 is great, but it's only great because of the work of Red Hat
developers have/are doing eliminating bugs - not introducing them.
Recently it has been found the design of the Gnome 2 menu editing was
not just unfinished but has some major flaws, which Red Hat developers
are actively participating in re-designing and fixing.
Gnome/KDE is free software and as such is available to be modified and
changed (buggered with) at a developers or companies choosing, as long
as you make the changes available under it's license terms. Red Hat do
this this willingly and IMHO, if people don't like it - tough!
