The desktop-base package was supposed to address exactly that problem,
but there was not a lot of interest in the KDE and GNOME teams to
actually work on that.

I think we have managed to create some feeling on the GNOME front,
though, with a default desktop and customized splash screen. GDM lacks
integration, though.

That'd be something, but there's much more that we should think about.
This is just the top of the iceberg.

See ya,
