Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure why the world needed another variation on the 
Gnome desktop. I don't know about Gnome, but the various "improvements" that 
some vendors have made to KDE just end up being something I have to work to 
remove. All of this seems more like pure branding than anything that was 
actually needed from a technical standpoint.
