Your missreading what I am saying. 1. I am not placing "demands" 2. I have pointed out the solution 3. I have pointed out the problem for gentoo as a distro 4.

I acknowledge that whats important to devs is not neccessarily going to gel for the users, but the fact that gentoo now does not have a usable desktop for a large part of its user community should be a concern for all.
