Not to dive into the technical weeds here, but I'm not sure there's as
much value in a "smorgasboard" installation as there is in a "sampler"
installation.

By "sampler", I mean an image that can be burned to DVD media and
easily booted from, that has each of the desktop environments so that
a user can try them, and the most commonly used applications for said
environment (like we currently do on the LiveCD images).  The
interesting question in my mind is -- can that be done and still fit
on a regular (not dual-layer) DVD?  If so, I think that's going to be
of the most benefit for handing out at events, etc.
