Me either, though the Gnome one's not too bad.  Apart from the STUPID
generic naming of some items, instead of naming the particular item.

e.g. Internet Messenger instead of Gaim instant messenger.
     Or Audio Player, instead of XMMS audio player (I've got more
     than one audio player).
     An so on...

Sounds like they get rid of that disaster for XP then.  But to replace
it, by default, with a whacking huge panel where people can't find what
they want.
