Not exactly, I thought about GNOME in the top right corner, KDE4 on the left, KDE3 in the bottom right corner. The selected desktop would then turn to the top direction.
I actually don't want to kick GNOME anywhere as I also don't prefer KDE or KDE3 to KDE4 or ...
Not you. But all others hide behind some technical constructs what they really want: to change the sequence in "their" way.

Which 'as it is now' do you mean? The current solution in Beta1 or Coolo's new proposal? That one doesn't help the newbie user at all. Text actually dont's say anything (they actually say: we don't say anything) ;) :)
Coolo's proposal. Stability, maturity, innovations, most recent, new technologies, (less) mature, stable. Wonderful short sentences for a newbie's "risk management" (what did you already hear from your friends, how much would you rely on their help), all set at the right place.
