My money says you've been hit by the Gnome Borg - where you are only permitted |
| 34 |
to do things the way the gnome devs have deemed to be appropriate and |
| 35 |
TheOneTrueWay(tm). After all, you are just a user, what do you know? The devs |
| 36 |
know better, you must trust them! |

I can't be of much more help to you, I don't use Gnome at all (see above) |
