I think we can follow our personal preferences to start with (I got Guile, Emacs, and Ratpoison because that=E2=80=99s pretty much all I need ;= -)). We do want to support some of these fancy desktops, but I don=E2=80=99t thi= nk there=E2=80=99s much we can plan: if/when someone wants to add XFCE, KDE, or Enlightenment, they=E2=80=99ll do it. Work on adding GNUstep and GNOME is very welcome as these are the preferred desktops in the GNU system. Perhaps we should look for hackers in these projects to give a hand. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
