Unhappy Couple of gripes still in FC2 that I hoped would be fixed since FC1

First of all I'd like to say Congratulations! and a big thank you to the Gnome team. I have only been running FC2 for a couple of days and I have noticed a zillion improvements that get the thumbs up.

But sadly I still have to bugs/problems happening on my PC...

1. Gnome Thumbnails:
When I save images from a web browser to a folder on my drive sometimes the thumbnail is not complete and only half the image is showing with the bottom part filled in with grey. I don't know if this is a Fedora or a Gnome problem. But the only way to get a full thumbnail preview is to go into the .thumbnail directory in my home folder and delete the thumbnail and refresh the folder where I saved the image.

2. Network configuration:
I have a Netgear wireless MA301/401 card which uses the orinoco_plx, orinoco and hermes modules. The card works perfect with Linux and Fedora, however I have WEP enabled and if I configure the card through Fedora GUI network interface and enter the WEP key the connection doesn't work. I have to open up a terminal, su to root and enter the WEP key manually before I can use the network. Why doesn't the GUI utility work after entering a valid WEP key??

I don't know if this is a problem with my PC but it's the only two issues I have with Fedora. Other than that it's perfect. (Except I wish the developers had made OOo & Mozilla use Gnome's new Open/Save dialogs)

On a plus side FC2 reckongnised my USB flashdrive and made it accessible, writable and foolproof immediately upon plugging it in. FC1 reckongnised it but I had a job getting it to work simply.

If the above issues are unknown I would like to report them, but I don't have a clue how to go about it.

If you can confirm the bugs are in Gnome you can report them via Gnome's bugzilla database.

Red Hat's is here. Be sure to select the Fedora Core product.
