With FC5 the (few) gnome apps I use are terrible compared to KDE's ones. Luckily, I don't really like gnome and use KDE instead :) The one app I do use now and then is firefox, and its performance is really poor compared to konqueror, my main web browser. Just switching desktops it takes a LOT long to redraw than konqueror (and I don't believe this is because I am running KDE, the same happens in gnome) I guess you prefer gnome, but just try KDE and see it things are better.
