[ale] Volunteers needed for short demo of unusual desktops

[Dow Hurst]

I am too far away to come but have been using XFCE with a dual monitor 
single desktop under SUSE for a long time.  It is really fast compared 
to the "mainstream".  SUSE preconfigures it enough that I didn't have to 
fiddle much to get it working the way I wanted.
