I've been hearing that Unity doesn't represent a fork, that the GNOME
session will be exactly the same, just with a different window manager
and shell. How hard is it to change the window manager & shell?

Hi Dave,

As I understand it, gnome-shell is the window manager.  gnome-shell is a plugin to mutter and is integrated.  It's one of the complaints on the thread in DDL that you can't switch out the window manager and keep the shell portion.
