Questions?

1) How do I configure my system to power down when I hit the power switch? (Hint: w/out patching and building Gnome.) A corollary of this question, I suppose, is why does a system function depend on a desktop which requires a login?

2) How does one run a CLI command on login or resume from suspend? The real question is why do I have to execute a `synclient` command to configure tap to click, two finger scrolling and three finger tap to insert?

3) How do I adjust the width of the borders around windows? What I really need is wider grab areas because grabbing the edge/corner of a window with the default theme is nearly impossible. I'm not sure if that is a result of crappy drivers or hardware. I wind up choosing a theme by trial and error to find one with larger grab areas.

I like, in general, Gnome3 but issues like these really bug me. They make me wonder if I should just bite the bullet and switch to something else.
