It seems like the two big systems are KDE and GNOME. It shouldn't be
that hard to nearly fully accomodate a KDE desktop by just adding some
code for the things like session management that won't work at all
without KDE specific code. #ifdefed code like that, I'm all in favor
of.

Make qt has never been a fully functional system. Right now it barely
does anything so anyone wanting to do QT/KDE completely would be
looking at a *lot* of work. That's why I think it'd be better to
stick with GTK and GNOME for the graphics and add KDE support where
needed, presuming KDE bits and GNOME can coexist peacefully. I'm not
familiar enough with what KDE would need to say for sure.
In Debian, at least, getting gnome up and running is trivial. I
suspect that if it isn't already, it will be for redhat and the other
major dists soon too. That should cover a pretty large audience.
Of course, this doesn't explicitly account for the *BSDs, the HURD,
etc, which I do want to accomodate if we can, but I suspect they'll
get GNOME soon if they haven't already.
