Also the short text that describes the desktops is pretty useless; please
let's replace
it by desktop screenshots.

A textual description should say something about the desktop and help
users to chose their best one. It was said that one picture can say more
than 1000 words but they forgot to say that you should be able to see
details ;)

Having screenshots doesn't solve anything as we can't have big
screenshots there. Moreover what can *one* screenshot say about a
configurable desktop environment? The only thing which is visible on
tiny screenshots is the color (or bitmap, but hardly) of the background.
So do we want users to make their decision based on a background color?
I don't think so.
