You all know this issue in Gnome 3 that you can’t even change the icons by default. Thousands of people are grumbling for that and of course they have any right. But let’s see what the Official Gnome says about it.

Normally I don’t like to make big posts, but this time will be an exception and I ll write -with my poor English :)- as much as necessary.

First of, I blame Gnome for a reason and one reason only. Gnome Foundation lacks to communicate with the public via a way that just can’t be ignored. When Gnome states something, it should immediately sound to the last person in Earth. Instead in Gnome even the biggest things are remain hidden on Mailing Lists or Planets.
