Hmmm... looking through that package listing leads me wonder what version
of gnome they'll be using.  The packages say 0.13, but there is a note
that they've merged it with CVS something or other; so it's hopefully not
_that_ old....  On the other hand, there's no panel in the gnome-core package
and other things are noticably absent....

(fvwm-2 is included alongside afterstep, but there's no AnotherLevel type
configuration files type package that I saw right off the bat.... I hope
they haven't just switched to Afterstep altogether, but have some
configuration files that allow users to drop in another window manager
with ease.)
