These already exist - if you use the fvwm95 package and install the
fbsd_icon package - it's already got a taskbar mod to insert the daemon
where the 95 logo goes, and a "FreeBSD" graphic to go where "Windows 95"
goes (lenghtwise along the start menu).

This is a good point - is it safe enough to assume that most people have com
1 free? Even on systems where there is a ps2 style mouse, com 1 is usually
unused. We could specify that they need to use a serial mouse on com1 to
get things started. It's not too much to ask IMHO.
