 = problem =

 [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test Desktop
 test results] were often not available for non-GNOME desktops.  This
 leaves a large exposure come release day (for Alpha, Beta or Final).

 = analysis =

 The desktop release criteria are specific to GNOME.  As a result, there is
 no incentive to finding bugs in XFCE, LXDE or KDE.

 = enhancement recommendation =

 This might be too much for once ticket.  Feel free to split this out into
 more if needed.

 Recommend looking for opportunities to improve communication between teams
 and increasing non-GNOME desktop testing leading up to milestones.
  * The goal is to extend the desktop validation testing introduced in
 Fedora 13 to cover the main non-default desktops: KDE, Xfce and LXDE.
  * Update appropriate desktop validation content as needed (see
 [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Desktop_validation_testing desktop
 validation testing])
