And let us use the contextual menu (right click) in list view even if it's loaded with items! I hate going back to icons view just to be able to right click to create a folder!!

I use GNOME everyday and I can tell you that having 2 bars is very useful (and you can edit everything, including removing panels if you dont like having 2 of em).
I personally have the applications list on the bottom one (like Windows) and on the top, I have a bunch of shortcuts to everything I need to use quickly (term, firefox, etc.) and it's very good. It's even more useful when you have 2 screens, you get to have 2 different applications panels and you can distinguish which window is on which screen, unlike Windows.

I need to have everything I need quickly accessible, ala Windows "Quick Launch". I used to have my windows taskbar 2 units high (in XP and earlier) because I needed more space for the shortcuts. GNOME's solution to this is more elegant, IMO.

I used to run Amarok 1 on gnome (yeah I know..), but now that they f'd it up in 2.0, I switched to Songbird. It has much less features and looks like a copy of iTunes but I know Mozilla is actively working on it :)

GNOME Do is wonderful and who cares if it runs on mono? Tomboy notes does too and its well integrated and it doesn't crash.

I think the proper fix to this should be in OpenSSHd's iPhone package, setting the config line disabling root access from ssh would fix the issue.

This isn't OpenSSH developers' problem. The jailbreaking utility should prompt you to change your root password. SSH is only allowing you to remotely log on the device, in the end if your password is weak/default, you shouldn't run an SSH server.

funny how firefox recognize this as:
