This is nothing new from Gnome sadly, I'm not trolling as I really like
Gnome and it is my primary desktop. 

It still *really* peeves me that they removed the means to adjust the
settings for screensavers, Whilst following it at the time in a bug
tracker post one of the upstream guys basically said, that everyone else
had been doing it wrong and this was the better way... No settings, you
use the colours/text we give you. in UbuntuLand Timeline that was around
Dapper I think, 3 or 4 years later, there is still no way to adjust a
screensavers settings.

Back to the buttons though, I have to wonder why Ubuntu would move these
buttons now when isn't Gnome 3 supposed to be shoved down our throats
end of this year, or was it put back.

And Gnome 3.. Wow, is *that* gonna rile a lot of people.
