Can you point me to the research showing the effect this has on user efficiency, or failing that, at least a design document comparable to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for the Macintosh? Or is this just an oral tradition passed on by those with their GUI well poisoned by X11, who then complain when everybody else does it differently?

You're being ironic or something, right? You don't actually believe that people's personal preferences have to be backed up by research do you?

I've never used FFM either - but if I was implementing it I'd make damn sure I consulted someone who had and respected their preferences.
