Yes. My favorite part of explaining the game to newbies is the movement, when they hear Zombies can go through walls they get that look in their eyes like they know they are going to die.

And they are.

Even if somehow there was compensation to allow zombies to move more than one space every turn, it still trashes the whole zombie hunger part of the deal.

Excactly. It's fundamental to the game and the movies that I know of, that zombies are able to swarm the hole town. They simple don't come knocking on your door.

Perhaps you should approach this differently, zombielover77. Instead of rule talk sit her down with a desent stock of zombie films and let her figure it out. Then try altering the rules and she'll be like whaaat? Zombies can't move through walls?

Definitely good advice. If there is one thing that is almost always a theme in zombie movies, it is that hiding inside a building almost never works out. Eventually, the zombies find a way to get in.
