Bug#427694: RFP: icewm-damn-small-desktop complete lightweight desktop smaller than GNOME



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I would like to see a meta-package with this title that has a complete
desktop.  "apt-get install gnome" on a fresh base debian system will
add about 790mb of software, without any meaningful apps.  I use these
package names, and get more functionality, a faster system, and an
uncluttered menu, by installing the following packages.  I think it
could end up being a hit if somebody who knows how to do metapackages
right would do this.  

menu
alsa-utils
alsa-base
discover1
tea
icewm-themes
icewm
sylpheed-claws-gtk2-pgpmime
sylpheed-claws-gtk2-vcalendar-plugin
sylpheed-claws-gtk2-feeds-reader
iceape-chatzilla
libflash-mozplugin
xresprobe
gdm-themes
mplayer-skin-blue
mozilla-mplayer
synaptic
xpdf-reader
xscreensaver
wine
ssh
mrxvt
icemc
bsc
xorg
dia
gnucash
openoffice.org-calc
openoffice.org-writer
openoffice.org-impress
junior-arcade
eog

it's a pretty good list of packages, less than 790mb of files.
Encrypted email, flash player web, image, music, some games, irc
client, word process, presentation, etc.  I hope somebody takes an
interest to this idea.

yours,
