Your keep forgetting the "<Whine></Whine>" tags... just kidding.
On a "slightly" more serious note, you need to seperate the
Linux(Kernel/GNU/OS)administrative  issues  from the deskstop(GNOME/KDE)
issues and Distribution issues?

This sound like it follows under the GNOME/KDE desktop issue.

You could for instance post messages to KDE/Gnome groups suggesting this
change or see if it's possible for you or them to be done.

And/Or post to a general linux mailing
