Hi
I would seriously consider bailing out of Gnome the way things are 
going.  Xfce is highly customisable.  Also worth a serious look is LXDE 
& the Lubuntu version of Ubuntu that uses this, which uses far less 
memory: this is probably what I will use when my current Ubuntu LTS 
install reaches end of support.  
Sorry if this sounds a bit grim so 
far into beta, but may it be less work than forking something.
cheers
