I've added ppds and startup-notification to the default USE for the
newly-created x86 development profiles for 2007.1, which I'd ask people
to base any change requests on, rather than the 2007.0 profiles.
Basically, if it isn't in the 2007.1 profile and you want it, ask for it
on gentoo-releng.  If we think we need more discussion on a particular
USE flag, we'll bring it back here.

One thing to remember, I do *not* consider our desktop profiles to be
"opt-in" but rather to be a good out-of-box experience for the user.  If
you want to think of the desktop profiles as bloated, feel free to use
the versioned profile (like 2007.0) instead, as it will be much closer
to the opt-in idea and only has USE flags which are common between
desktops and servers and are much less likely to get additional flags
added to them, since I want these to be as minimal as possible while
still providing important functionality.
