That the peope in a country live in thrid world conditions does not mean that the country is not powerful economically, and China is the clear example. I'm talking about GDP in global terms, not GDP per capita.
As examples of what is happening in the world:
do you know why the price of steel has been continually getting higher and higher in the past two years? china is demanding more and more steel, if a country demands so much steel it means that it's industry is producing a huge deal of stuff.
Do you know why the most biggest companies in the world are building factories in China? one of the reasons is because the manpower is cheap, but the main reason is that their citizens are a huge market yet to be exploited.
More information:
China's exports grow 9% each year.
EEUU in 2003 had a deficit of 130000 million dollars against China.
G8 is looking to let China enter.

As for the military power:

It's not the biggest but is in second place in power.
As they will be the first economy power in the world in less than 20 years, they are already the sixth, and they aim to be the first. And the United States can't do anything to avoid this from being true.
Besides, China is probably the world's most powerful military country in the world even if they don't go out of their frontiers, the thing is that they can't battle the entire world. But they could challenge EEUU without any doubt.
BTW if i don't remmember bad, China is also participating in Galileo.

Gnome never took out the option of running with a different Window Manager.
You just need a Window Manager that conforms to the WM spec publish at freedesktop.org.
Currently there are several window managers that implemente the spec: kwin (kde), metacity (gnome),
fvwm, openbox, enlightenment & icewm.
