Errm, "much more tested" maybe by you, I personally haven't used Thunderbird for a few years now so I couldn't even say how stable it is :) And about the look-and-feel and integration: I assume you have never tried to theme either of those two. It's surely getting better, but those two programmes always needed a few workarounds to make them work in most themes (because they're not gtk - as opposed to Claws, not Chromium). > - LightDM instead of GDM would be great, let's get rid of these GNOME > dependencies (provided this piece of software is stable).

Replacing Gimp with Shotwell also sounds odd to me (I agree with Phil and rent0n on that one), though I could live without it in a default install. > - Vinagre (Remote Desktop Viewer): has someone actually ever used it? > Should we really keep it? Never used it and I'm really wondering why this functionality has to be provided by default, but I'm happy to hear it. Cheers, Simon -- MMag.
