I first tried linux/gnome about a year ago.  Why did I persevere, with all 
the hair-pulling complexity, obtuse documentation, and brittle
applications?
MULTIPLE DESKTOPS!  Really!  That was the first thing I noticed when I
booted
SuSE 6.3 for the first time.  Being able to have more than one app
maximized 
on my little 14" screen, all one click away, was a revelation.  

So my two bits is, make the multiple desktops BIG, OBVIOUS, so the beginner

can see the benefits immediately.
