Fedora 19 Final TC5 desktop testing

[Ranjan Maitra]

Thanks! Will download the LXDE spin right away!

Interesting that the size of the LXDE spin is (marginally) bigger than
the XFCE one.

Thanks for asking for feedback!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Just run any of the tests you can for your desktop, file bugs on any failures you hit, and mark your results in the tables according to the key. It'd be especially good to have help with the deceptively large test case https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_menus , which is basically 'run every app installed by default and make sure it works'. If you do hit problems with any of the tests, first check at https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/final/buglist to see if they've been reported as blocker or freeze exception bugs already.
