(From your email) I fail to see the advantage as other commenters have pointed out. What problem is there that cannot be solved using dependencies and kde/gnome use flags? This decision just seems to increase the split between KDE and Gnome and that does not reflect user's realities: They use both. Gnome desktop + kmail, k3b, yakuake or KDE with evince, etc. Why add one more decision to make where the result is unclear (and honestly, profile documentation is almost zero)? Robert
