[Fedora-music-list] Default Desktop Environment

Hi all,

I've been thinking about what kind desktop environment would best suit 
the needs of audio users.

Since the Gnome 3 release I've kind of abandoned GNOME as it doesn't 
really quite gel with my workflow. Since then I've been hovering over 
KDE/XFCE, but the latest mongrel openbox (mixture of xfce4/qt-razor) 
setup I'm using now seems to be winning.

The qt razor project seems really exciting [1] - I've found the 
components to be really quite mature but alas a little sparse. Razor is 
not in the repos yet but there is talk of including it and it is under 
heavy development [2]. I'm wondering if razor could be used as the 
default desktop for an audio spin? If the desktop team ever decide to 
endorse a Razor spin we could leverage off their efforts as well.

Jus thinking aloud - let me know what you think

Brendan
