Or (just an alternative) - we also let the user choose in that screen
if he want vi, emacs or xemacs. And postfix or sendmail. And if he wants
a C compiler or a C++ compiler too. Or if he wants additional languages
to his KDE or just to his GNOME. And if he wants Thunderbird as mail client
to his KDE or rather use pine or mutt.

Sorry Joe - usability has nothing to do with avoid clicks for as many users
as possible. And using the word usability in a context where you're saying
you want 2 different desktop environments, is not going to help your point.

Greetings, Stephan
