But I need/want a GUI, not a DE, just a GUI -- and that's the problem because freedesktop.org is the only game in town and whatever they do everyone must do. Coupled with the fact that graphics processors are all tightly controlled by Nvidia, Radeon, etc. we are destined for an extremely monolithic Linux graphical environment in the future. Fork? Who's gonna take on that challenge? It seems that a handful of developers, with their own special and exclusionary agenda, will control the Linux GE for all time. Frank Peters
