Ralf, My response to your first reply: When I write desktop environment, I'm thinking of the environment in which the computer will operate, namely the desktop of a person working at, and maybe sitting at, a desk, e.g. the environment in which you likely composed your reply. Further, I sense that you prefer less bloat, as opposed to more bloat. Go with your preference. The people who object are likely already using Gnome3 and will never notice the slight. We do not have to 'harmonize' all points of view within this small suggestion for Debian. The impression I have is that what one sees and what one gets are very easily tweaked if one has access to the text scripts that implement a particular 'environment'. So, from my point of view, almost anything that doesn't crash with a long list of cryptic error messages would be helpful. ( All error messages are cryptic if one does not have access to well written, well organized documentation for a system, and access to a working version of the system for trying test cases. ) In other words, I think you surely have already made almost all the decisions for "task-jwm-desktop.ralf.mardorf". Anyone who objects to your choices can generate an alternative variation. I doubt that there will be sufficient responses to this suggestion to require a serious discussion at a policy level in the Debian organization. Just for a start, is there a way of posting candidate task-whatever scripts on wiki.debian.org? Thanks for taking my idea seriously enough to respond three times!!!
