I guess what is not clear to me includes (and I did some googling while taking a break from yardwork): * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would not be installed if the user requested GNOME, KDE, ...? * does task-desktop provide some functionality that would work without one of the other listed DEs (GNOME, KDE, ...)? * and, for extra credit, what is the functionality that task-desktop provides that is not included with any of the DEs?
