I know I could say this to a gnome list. I'm aware I could even post
this to some xfree list, saying that every single keyboard sold today
for pc have those 3 keys.
Well, these guys have other concerns. The first one, gnome does not run
only on pcs, and they like macintosh-like stuff. Change this to default
only on x86 would be as stupid as well. The xfree guys, I don't know -
maybe I'm scared of them - its a misterious group of mystic beings that
releases their bits of gracefullness to mortal people - or those
accountants from dilbert's cartoon :-) Just kidding.
I'm saying this on a fedora list, because fedora is not vanilla gnome,
nor vanilla kde. There are SEVERAL little tweaks on redhat/fedora
desktop which made lots of people switch to redhat/fedora. Most of them
unify and simplify desktop operation, specially from those coming from
windoze world.
Maybe fedora-desktop list?
