I think this is absolutely the way to go! kde-dist/e-linux folks: Please
let's go with this approach, and preferably use the same "basic
distribution" as SEUL.

Because it's there! Of everything I've seen, and I scan the web
regularly, it absolutely the best and most complete desktop available.
It's actually usable NOW. GNOME has a long way to go, but I hope it gets
there, and e-linux may switch over when it's done. If e-linux and SEUL
use the same basic distibution, the two could merge easily in the
future.
