Yeah, I realized that right after submitting the bug. I agree; let's make it 20. > I definitely have mixed feelings about this whole thing.

Well, again, people who want a specific WM have the ability to frob ~/.xsession. Besides, I don't think we could even attempt to define what is "*best*" in a window manager; at this point, there are probably more window managers out there than there are GNU/Linux users. Our overriding goal should be to have a WM which at least functions somewhat acceptably in the largest possible number of situations as the default for x-window-manager. KDE and GNOME make up a very significant portion of today's situations. It's not like I'm proposing "Add 20 points if the WM includes a multithreaded Lisp interpreter, animated titlebars with cute little Debian swirls, and 32768 virtual desktops."
