I really don't want my first post here to be whiney,
so I'll try and present myself logically.  

Starting with the introduction of RH8, I have found
that the desktop interface has become more restrictive
with each successive release.   

To name a few, items, 
1. I liked being able to mouse from one workspace to
the next without touching the keyboard or clicking in
the Workspace Switcher.
2. I had the Windows System key configured to
automatically activate a terminal from anywhere.
3. And now with FC1, there is the issue of  mouse
focus as outlined in 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115072.

The 7.3 Window manager, sawfish IIRC allowed for
several levels of customizablity.  The first thing the
Sawfish control panel asked you was are you an novice,
intermediate or an expert user.  Based on your answer,
it limited your options. 

Is there reason that a similar feature cannot be
implemented in the next Fedora Core?  

I don't want to cause trouble but can some one tell me
why it seems like each new version of Redhat takes
away my ability to tune the desktop so I am as
productive as possible?
