So on that note what's the status of XFCE and QT support. I would like 
to switch to those as needed on my netbook and my desktop as well. Gnome 
3 just looked like a big bloated multidrirectional mess as you say and 
it's bigger than I want for a simple customizable minimal GUI. Also when 
you only have a gig of RAM a big bloated desktop isn't helping. I 
ditched Windows 7 from the netbook for that reason and I would hate to 
just bloat back up again with gnome 3 if there's a better alternative. I 
expect with everything being forcefully shoved off into data centers 
we're going to have to get a11y stuff on smaller devices like tablets 
and such or netbooks. Most people now only have bigger boxes for server 
stuff.
