1) If we settled on some kind of a default, the system could be pretty much self-configuring. 2) You can't force anything on a newbie. Since they probably do not know what X is, they will be happy to have a more functional X system at startup and they can ALWAYS change it. Even COL has twm and olvm options in that same popup menu under the "Desktop" selections. I know that COL is a commercial system and I am not suggesting that Debian should be as extensive, I am simply expressing my opinion that it can be made a bit more functional "right out of the box" and have easy to find documentation a click away from the desktop.
