	Not exactly.  This is not for a default windowmanager for FreeBSD,
this is to get people thinking about a multimedia image for FreeBSD.  We
are doing it via a theme contest.  

	It will not be just `pictures, icons, and crap'.  It will have to
be a configuration that allows the root user to do system management a lot
easier, on a freshly installed box; or on a box that has been up a while.

	We thought about having the general public vote on this via the
web, but decided it was not a good idea.  If the public voted on
something, no one is to say they have tried all the entrys.  Once again,
this is not for a WindowManager, it is for the configuration+helper apps
of a windowmanager.

	KDE is one of the WM's that are allowed, many others are too.

	More information is coming soon, hopefully by tommorow our webpage
will be ready for primetime.  As I plan to have all the legal info, etc
up.
