most of your complaints have to do with the window manager you're using., especially with the focus issues, like tabbing between apps.
>>Why is the pager applet tied to the panel task list? That's just wrong. it isn't anymore, theres now the deskview and tasklist applets.
what is a pain, and you're right is that on some gtk apps im so used to using alt+f,e,etc to get to the File, Help menu and sometimes it doesn't work! so i have to almost memorize each apps keyboard accelerators to open, close, etc.

because the different distro's might use different kernels or C libraries, and if it's only a binary-only driver they can use redhat's distro as a reference on what specific libs/kernel it will run on.
if i recall correctly, 4Front sponsers the xmms team, and they pay them to port xmms to other systems, I think. more info is on the xmms or 4front webpages.

dont you only have to give out the changes if you distribute your program? I think you can keep the changes to GPL programs and keep them in-house.
usually edit the file that calls up your window manager, it could be.xinitrc or.Xclients and comment out your old window manager and just add the line startkde, if you already have kde installed. i put startkde in my.xinitrc file and it calls up kde.

I think gnu sells software too.. so gotta throw away that gcc too.
