Either of these should be reasonable options (upstream preferred.. but
that probably will not be possible for FC2 release).  There are numerous
patches applied in SRPMs, and IF this can be done by a simple patch it
would help improve the desktop (uniformity goes along way) -- but we are
discussing an application that is difficult to use in general, so it is
a minor improvement.  I do not see either being done for FC2..
