Couldn't agree more.. Coming from a redhat and mandrake world, when I first 
installed a desktop on my gentoo system, a while ago, I was so pleased by the 
way it looked compared to the customized KDE / gnone installation on some 
other distro..

Then I discovered that this was actually the default desktop :)


Although, I must say that some work needs to be done in the desktop area.. A 
working menu system would be great... Adding missing menu entries just after 
merging an application is a pain, especially since non-techies often consider 
an application to be installed if they see the icon, and not-installed when 
they don't..


juste mes 2 cennes :)
