No make it an Ubuntu clone, I still do not see what the problems you 
guys have with GNOME apps.
Instead of being vague please support your PoV on a per app basis.

You are not remembering well, please do not mislead others.
The order was this: I sent patch and got it accepted in upstream g-s-s

And if you want to know you only run Xfce stuff, even though it is kinda 
missing features and has no measurable benefits performance wise you use 
a pure Xubuntu, put together by GNOME haters with total disregard to reason.
