Comment 58 for bug 14838

Adding a me-too to the "Please think about this a bit more..."

As a physically handicapped user of the GNOME desktop (I can use two fingers
from ten total) -- this change just made my browsing experience a whole lot harder.

Usually to access the 'parent window' function in GNOME, I have to rest a book
on the ALT key, so that the two available fingers can press the shift and left
brace key (the combination of which, makes an up arrow on this particular
variant of keyboard) -- sometimes, this can get very frustrating (the book falls
off, my hand locks up, etc), so I forget it and use the folder option in the
bottom left-hand corner to pick the directories I need to navigate through, pin
the windows to the desktop and use the touchpad with the accessibility options
turned on to drag and drop files to where I need them.

With the new behaviour (sans-gconf change, I wanted to keep my machines as
vanilla as possible), it's impossible for me to move files around on the
desktop, because I can no longer use the "On Top" command to pin the windows,
and shifting between directories using the folder dropdown makes the existing
folder vanish anyway, which means my choices are limited to right-click
copy-and-pasting, which takes a lot of work for someone who needs to push the
mouse around with the same finger they are required to click with.

As for the change itself, I can see how it means less desktop real estate is
taken up -- always good on an 800x600 laptop monitor, but that's about the only
positive I can get out of it. [1]

Windows' option in the Window List Preferences would probably have been a better
way to go.
