Wasn’t there some mention of xfce needing gnome-settings-daemon as well, which would kinda defeat the point? I’d be for IceWM as default setup, as opposed to a full Desktop Environment, and then people can either add/mix packages from DEs as needed or choose a different one in the installer. (It’s currently nontrivial to do so, the task list has only one entry for DE. This ought to change.) I fully agree with the statement that choosing the interface is one of the very few choices that newcomers would *indeed* want to make. And IceWM is a small, fast, usable default choice which will be familiar to everyone who used a GUI computer in the last decades, except maybe for the last 3-4 years when everyone went crazy over swish-to-do-stuff inter- faces, phones, etc. And then present Debian with all DEs, with the theme-du-release, to the media, so that people truly get that Debian is the Universal OS, not just “another GNOME ship”. bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
