Though, I'd say it's accurate.
You could build up a list of things that keep getting removed from your
control in Gnome. I'm not going to attempt to build up an extensive
one, but as someone who's used Gnome on Fedora since Fedora began, and
Red Hat Linux beforehand, I have definitely noticed things being removed
from user control. Here's just a few, and I'm sure others could add
quite a few more, if they wanted:
1. Used to be able to customise GDM, can't anymore without serious
hacking.
2. Used to be able to have screensavers, now you have to bodge in
something else.
3. Used to have decent control of the audio mixer, now there's
none.
Others have commented that if they try to bring up user-configuration of
Gnome in the Gnome arena, it always gets howled down. The evidence is
against your assertion.
