The RH bugzilla on this issue is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186308 > > <offtopic flamewar="false" excuse="friday"> > Anyway, I think these are the kind of changes that irk people a > lot as far as GNOME approach to usability goes: experimental > behavior that is highly subjective, which is being forced onto > the masses with no way of opting out. There was a fairly detailed analysis here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326159 which even called the behavior experimental. Might have been good to have a option till they get it right atleast. > > I know, I know, this is not the list for this sort of complaints, > but these are things that people perceive as being "the disto", > and I think that Fedora should use its clout to fight these kind > of changes upstream.

There are people who do actually prefer the new option like LWN's editor Jonathan Corbet ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006- February/msg00086.html) for example. Not a surprise since the original motivation for this new behavior seems to a article on that website. I can't find it now.
