He said "any small change".  Last I looked I can create menubars, add
applets, change themes, change window behavior, etc all without using
gconf.  One can easily argue that those are "small changes" and thus
invalidate his argument utterly.  Furthermore, they call into question
his motives in stating something that's so obviously untrue.

In regards to your statement, even if somehow modifying the menu was
the end-all-be-all of UI configuration, the fact that it exists now
means that your counter argument is nothing more than a straw man.
We're speaking about the present.  If we go far back enough in time, I
think you'll find that all UIs had difficulties in modification sans
special tools or knowledge...
