Who are "they", and why would they care about someone's demands? Don't get me wrong, I got bitten by some of these issues occasionally, too, but Linux is not an actual product I pay for. It's a bunch of free code. I can choose to contribute or not, but I can't expect that anyone is obliged to care about my demands.

I just said until they (contributors, obviously) have a better solution, I'll choose to pay for a desktop environment that suits my needs.
