That's true, but remember that when they launch they will see the project name anyway. The thing is to keep the Debian Desktop the simplest possible _by default_ - with the open possibility to extend it whenever the user feels more comfortable with the new environment. > As well as solving the problem of, if a user wanted to make more than > one, say, terminal emulator visible, distinguishing between them. Sure, that would have to be done. As somebody in this thread suggested, in that case the terminal name should appear in the parentheses - it's obvious that the distinction should be made somehow. Or, perhaps, it would be better to automatically turn that menu entry into a submenu when more Terminal Emulators are installed? marek
