Well, GOOD FOR YOU and GO FOR IT.
I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it.  My 'desktop' work consists of
running Netscape, mutt, and a crapload of vi, so I don't particularly
care, but it'd be 'nice' in a general sense to have more widespread
support for X, Y, and Z.  I don't care enough to push hard for it myself;
I have bigger worries in my life.  But I doubt many people will stand in
your way on the narrow subject of 'push for the desktop'.
