I would also prefer something lighter like xfce, but I'm
not going to stand in the way of those interested in ensuring
that a 'full fat' gnome desktop works well on NetBSD.  I'm
sure it will be possible to adjust the initial netbsd-desktop
installer to select an alternate desktop packages such as
kde, xfce4 or even a lightweight window manager like jwm.

Maybe we should consider WindowMaker for that reason - it's not too
fat, doesn't depend on a lot of packages but it looks nice, is useful
and comes with a graphical configuration tool.

So, does the Existing WindowMaker package do everything you would want? :)

No, I still have to install it by hand :p
Seriously, we already have pretty much all its dependencies in xbase IIRC.

have fun
Michael
