Its good to hear that Daniel. Could you create a bug for the 'wrong
owner' issue you found please on <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org">https://bugs.mageia.org</A>
Did you try gnome-tweak-tool for the gnome bits you wanted to change?
I'm not a gnome user so can't say whether it does all you want it to do
but it does allow you to easily alter certain hidden gnome settings.
Thanks
Claire
