The Druid isn't necessary IMHO. Instead of it we could implement a better 
GNOME Welcome than the current one in GNOME 1.4. If we do so, GNOME and 
Nautilus would better fit together.
Maybe it can be combined with XIMIANs/GNOMEs Doorman. But it should be 
extended a little bit. I recently installed KDE 2.2 on my laptop. They have 
about the same thing called KPersonalizer. You can adjust KDE for your 
needs/for your CPU (if it can't handle all that eye-candy stuff). 

Thoughts?
