I have no doubt that you are correct in this statement - YMMV after all.

Some of the DBus & HAL issues are probably configuration issues. But, without good documentation and with no GUI configuration for it in Control Center, if it doesn't work there is little that a user can do:

This isn't exactly a user friendly error message is it?

XML is making it harder to fix such issues by editing configuration files by hand. As we go to more and more complicated underlying technologies we must have GUI configuration available for them.

Other problems only occur with specific configurations.

This is still reported with SuSE 10.0. It can be fixed in you build from source by using an older version of one file.

And the kicker child panel vs. icon issue only occurs with child panels -- especially if you have autohide child panels. I think that it is only the autohide child panels that cause the DeskTop icons to get rearranged.

Distros may have fixed some of these issues, but should we rely on distros to fix our bugs?
