We already have a plan, it's a good plan.  We should stick to it.

Yep, need one that works just as good without compositing.  Or create a
taskbar only, like we have ibar and ibox, maybe call it itask?  Er
wait, itask-ng?  Um no, itask-ds9?  Then we can make one for mobiles and
call it itask-voyager, and one for big companies and call it
itask-enterprise. B-)

I think there is room for both an all in one, and separate bars.

Agreed.

I'll put in my personal plug for being able to switch keyboard layouts
WITHOUT changing languages.  So all my dvorak challenged friends can
still use my computer.  They'll have to be able to touch type QWERTY,
but I can live with that.  It's even harder to do this on the command
line when the keyboard is mapped to something your are not familiar
with.  lol

Works for me.

There was also mention of theme work, but the only part of the
current default theme that has truly annoyed me so far is the desktop
background.  So I replaced it with something boring.
