Well, the "frills" I really care about are probably some clipboard
functionality (beyond the "selection" function built into X), a menu
containing frequently used GUI apps (e.g. the "start menu"), a task bar, a
clock, and a quick way to switch between virtual desktops. Easy
editing of the applications menu is also nice.
It's also important that apps play well together (all can use the sound
system, the printing system, etc.) without a lot of tweaking, but I'm not
really sure how much that has to do with the desktop environment, really.
