NetBSD desktop work

A few weeks ago I started working on setting up a desktop based on ideas 
from Lubuntu (and its use of LXDE).

I made a few wiki pages about it:

http://wiki.netbsd.org/light-desktop/
http://wiki.netbsd.org/light-desktop/light-desktop-usage/
http://wiki.netbsd.org/light-desktop/light-desktop-todo/

We have been using it for a couple weeks at home. It still needs lots of 
work but is mostly usable.

Maybe the fastest way to try it is:

# for file monitoring for desktop icons
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/glib2
make PKG_OPTIONS.glib2=kqueue install # I used replace

# meta package
cd /usr/pkgsrc/wip/light-desktop
make DEPENDS_TARGET=bin-install  # fetch available packages, build rest

And for X run: start-netbsd-light-desktop

You can do this in Xnest or in Xephyr for testing (or replace your 
~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession).
