You speak for me, this has also been an enormous source of frustration over 
the past few years, and filing bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org to ask for better 
configurability always result in absolute ignorance. The worst for me was 
switching from the 3rd button to the middle button to perform interactive 
window resizing, almost impossible to do on a mouse on which the middle button 
is a wheel (ie. all Logitech mice). Fortunately, that's an easy enough 
metacity patch. I know those are all GNOME issues, but Fedora, being one of 
the big Gnome "client" (read, supporter), should have considerable influence 
over them. Just as an example, if Fedora were to ditch Metacity, or Epiphany, 
or some other Gnome default, based on Fedora users feedback, it would send a 
powerful message...
