No it's not bullshit. Let's get a little reality check here. Gnome is
backed by big corporations like Sun, HP, IBM(?) and they give a sh*t
about old UNIX users. They're goal is to pry loose Windows users and
convert them to their systems. THAT'S why Gnome is more and more
following the WindBlows way of things.

The one who pays the musicians determines which music is to be played!
