Re: Is there some work on a official/preinstalled Desktop for NetBSD?

What do you think about this desktoop: lumina. It is based in freebsd.
Uses the fluxbox window manager and qt.

The author says that is developed for BSD (mainly FreeBSD and PCBSD),
and therrefore there isn't the problems of other linux-centric window
managers as KDE/GNOME/xfce

I would like to have a lightweight destop environment included in
base, minimalistic and good enough (for me it is anything better that
actual twm), altough the solution is more simple that your original
project.

Would lumina be much more easy to integrate and support that your
original project? Or can you envision other simple solution:
integrate/support that is good enough?
