There has nothing been changed in these two years on the Gnome2 practice to enforce the Gnome2 ideas of "usability". The Emacs -> Windoze keybindings were introduced silently without a smooth transition, the ~/.X* files were made pointless, Firefox was crippled, ... >> So they do not care about existing ~/.Xresources entries and there is >> not way (not even in the registry) to turn off this behavior.

Filing bugs regarding Gnome2 usability is senseless; Gnome2 developers think that they are the gods of usability and reject anything which is against their ideas. E.g. regarding ~/.Xresources read [1]: instead of adding an appropriate configuration option, Gnome2 developers give worthless responses like "if you do not like it, delete files under /usr/share/...". Perhaps a good practice under Windoze, but does not work in Linux where I might have no perms for that or the next autoupdate will override my "settings". Similarly for ~/.Xmodmap in [2]. And regarding firefox, the BZ tickets were told in this thread already.
