I tend to think that a well-configured WindowMaker installation
is about the best for kids, although I know others (Hi, Harry)
like IceWM.  These machines aren't intended to be general
purpose desktops and so don't need complicated enviroments.  A
nice clean screen with a row of icons down one side is less of a
distraction than all the eye-candy of a full-fledged desktop
environment.
