s and debate over a unified Linux menu structure across all distros? Whew!

So, if Desktop Debian wants users to have a desktop that "Just Works", without any puzzling delays waiting for some apps to load - everything nice and smooth and well integrated - then it makes sense for DD to worry about these issues.
