I find it far more annoying that control-a's default binding has changed from "start of line" in GTK+ 1.x (same as in bash, emacs, ...) to "select all" in GTK+ 2.0
<snip>
It's fixable via a dot file, but that's an amazingly dumb default. :-/
Perhaps they're trying to make it less confusing for ppl switching from windoze... Not a dumb default for me, since I didn't know that ctrl-a was a binding for start of the line in emacs etc! ;-)
