What's the root of the problem here? In other words, why has an important usability bug been ignored for years? Is the problem that Gnome is mostly funded by Redhat, and Redhat mostly focuses on enterprise usecases, as that's how they make money? I remember years ago Ubuntu had their 100 papercuts initiative, which seems like exactly the sort of initiative to fix a bunch of smaller desktop usability items that enterprises might ignore.
