I'm glad someone is doing it. I was thinking about packaging up my desktop
and sending it in, just to kick start the contest. It's not too fancy,
but it works. I basically consists of Enlightenment, Emacs, and Netscape,
with the "SwingMetal" theme slightly customized to my needs.
We need more submissions, folks. Grab your CD, put E! or TkDesk or Fvwm
or whatever on your desktop, hack around a bit, and submit it. I'd really
like for someone to submit a complete, working KDE environment just to
compare against.
