Nah.  If it works, don't break it.

I'm slowly passing hints and small tips to my mother about OpenOffice
and gnome too.  She's happy and works fine with her Windows desktop so
far, so pushing things isn't good.  But localised versions of a few
programs is all she needs:

	- A word processor.
	- An email reader.
	- A web browser.
	- A spell checker.

That's more or less all that most users need from a workstation
these days.  (Well, these and a player for multimedia files).
