The idea is to develop a distinct personality for xubuntu. I am just coming up with ideas that I think would improve xubuntu's usability and look and feel. By the way, everybody is invited to join in. Anyway, if we don't customize the desktop just take whatever others think the default should be then we justify the critics according to which xubuntu is just a poor gnome clone in an xfce clothing. Look at Dreamlinux, it is everywhere nowadays, but I don't think just because of the applications it installs by default. But rather because of its innovative interface that people like to play with. So don't be timid and just follow what others do. Remember the last year about the logo discussions? There were lots of nay sayers--logo shouldn't be glossy, shouldn't be shadows, shouldn't be 3D and things like that. And when I presented the concept to the ubuntu art list everyone adopted it right away. So the conclusion is that we should strive to be leaders rather than followers otherwise we never stick out from the crowd.
