I'm not sure if an extra workspace is a distraction... ? I would have probably have mentioned cluttered desktop.. but I don't care enough to argue this point that much. :-)
The GNOME Project was started in 1997 by two then-university students, Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena. Their aim: to produce a free (as in freedom) desktop environment. Since then, GNOME has grown into a hugely successful enterprise. Used by millions of people across the world, it is the most popular desktop environment for GNU/Linux and UNIX-type operating systems. The desktop has been utilised in successful, large-scale enterprise and public deployments, and the project's developer technologies are utilised in a large number of popular mobile devices. For further comments and information, contact the GNOME press contact team at gnome-press-contact@gnome org.
I believe Federico's full name is Federico Mena Quintero.
