I am one of those people. I often use Konqueror and other K* stuff, but I use fluxbox as my window manager. Actually, I always am mix-n-matching this stuff. :) Also, maybe add a small blurb about how to set up acroread in netscape to automatically display pdf's. Possibly the same with realplayer. What about xlock? Most people want to lock their desktops when they leave, or after a short time frame. Also, not nearly as important, but would be a popular "Desktop" app, instant messenging?
