It is pointless to argue here about stuff that can't be changed within the reals of the Fedora project. To get back to specific, if you have a itch to scratch with a specific behaviour on the GNOME desktop, it is very unlikely to get changed here by applying a patch against the upstream code or data. The correct behaviour as an Open Source project participant is to debate it upstream where there is an infrastructure (usability team, tools and mailing-list) in place to get this processed. If there was no upstream venue, then yes here would be an alternate forum by lack of better choice but Jeff is 100% on-spot in this case, this is a GNOME usability request, and discussion should be process there, not here.
