I disagree.  Linux is all about choice, and asking the user to make a 
choice at this early stage puts them in the right frame of mind.  
The "default" radio button could have text by it that says "This 
desktop will be used by default when you log in.  You can select a 
different one by choosing it from the Session dropdown."  I like the 
idea of being able to install more than one desktop at this stage.

Not nearly so confusing as in the old days when I used to install fvwm, 
olvwm, enlightenment, etc. by choosing them during software 
selection :)
