I was thinking about packaging up my desktop and sending it in, just to kick start the contest. It's not too fancy, but it works. I basically consists of Enlightenment, Emacs, and Netscape, with the "SwingMetal" theme slightly customized to my needs. We need more submissions, folks. Grab your CD, put E! or TkDesk or Fvwm or whatever on your desktop, hack around a bit, and submit it. I'd really like for someone to submit a complete, working KDE environment just to compare against. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
