I still use the same desktop and window manager I have for the past 8
years (which means not GNOME or KDE) so I'm not giving favors to either
-- but we cannot ignore that these are the two most popular desktops
today.  W/o the added functionality those two give over my own CTWM, we
cannot attract and please those of the M$ generation.  

Maybe I should be saying it simpler -- that getting KDE and GNOME
installed from get go *is* a basic install today.
