How much has RH8 gnome been nobbled?

I expected some changes moving from Gnome/GTK 1 to 2, but I didn't expect to see my login session wiped!

I don't know what to expect from Gnome 2, so my question is really: have we got what's available, or have RedHat dropped/changed a number of things in this drive to standardise to GUI?

A couple of e.g.s,

- has gtcd gone? The 'gnome cd player' that's there isn't cddb aware.

- where are all of the 'advanced' config. windows? Gnome1 had wads of decent panel configs. on tabs; now there seems to be one noddy one.

Similarly, sawfish's config. window seems to have been altered: I can't set the <meta> key up (for, e.g., moving windows without finding the title bar) and I can't have key-oriented bindings (they're now action-oriented: a list of actions, with a "what key do you want to use" as opposed to an "add key + action" type affair). Means I can't assign my 'standby' key to 'logout'.

How much of this is part-and-parcel of Gnome 2, and how much is a 'Redhatism' (if any)?
