My money says you've been hit by the Gnome Borg - where you are only permitted to do things the way the gnome devs have deemed to be appropriate and TheOneTrueWay(tm). After all, you are just a user, what do you know? The devs know better, you must trust them! I can't be of much more help to you, I don't use Gnome at all (see above) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
