I tend to agree here.. I looked into creating a pkg not too long ago.. and it
seemed to me that GNOME was a mess. Total alpha-quality.
Enlightenment struck me like that too last time I looked.. but that may have
changed..
Maybe I'll revist them if time allows.. though in the meantime.. if someone
else wants a crack at it.. by all means.. do so.. I have about 10 projects on
my list ahead of that.. (hell, I just caught up to my afterstep promise I made
like 3 months ago)
