Hmm, 30 points is a lot. That would mean that a netwm-compliant window manager which didn't support the Debian menu system would rank higher than a non-netwm system which did. I'm not sure I'm willing to go that far. Right now we have 20 points for menu, and 10 points for the ability to restart a different window manager. How about if we go for 30 points for menu, 20 points for netwm, and 10 for switching? Or something like that? I definitely have mixed feelings about this whole thing. I'd like gnome to work hassle-free out of the box, but I'd also like to have the *best* window manager be default, even for our users that don't use gnome. I think that a "netwm" alternative might actually be the best approach all around, even if it is a little more complicated.
