I think that given how cheap it is now to buy a webcam and to have an internet connection gnomemeeting is an essential application for those with family and friends in far away places. I have friends and family all over the world. and i tend to agree to an extent with damien i.e. have a basic desktop and add the bits you want or to have it all included. so you would have a pim, office suite, communications software, web browser in the core desktop so the average user doesnt need to look for what he wants.
