The GNOME development community has announced the official release of version 2.22 after six months of development. GNOME is an open-source desktop environment that supplies a complete user interface and an assortment of programs for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. GNOME 2.22 includes some important new architectural features and a handful of significant new programs. Among the most important enhancements in GNOME 2.22 are the GVFS virtual file system framework, which brings improved network transparency to GNOME desktop applications, and the PolicyKit framework, which provides improved support for secure privilege elevation.

Look, bud. I have, overall, about 90 users on Gnome. I have console users running with the crappy graphics cards that come in servers. And I have lot's and lot's of XDMCP users running remote X. And I have even more running sessions over the WANs using NX. I have my laptop, my umpc, my desktop, and a few of my users have standalone desktop boxes.
Another poster has guessed that your driver does not support render. I will be more blunt and say that your post is full of it. I have never observed the behaviors you describe (with such apparent glee) in the years in which I have had many users using Gnome in diverse rendering environments.
I *have* observed that the redrawing of Mozilla apps is very noticeable slow. But complaints about that should be directed at Mozilla Corp. (Epiphany, which uses gecko but is a Gnome app, redraws very snappily.)
