I, for one, find it inconvenient to dive into software selection if
all I want to do is add GNOME & KDE, or KDE 3.5 and KDE 4.0. If we're
already presenting the desktop options for the user, I think it's less
than friendly to say "you can only choose one" and make them add the
other(s) via another screen.

A multiple-selection also conveys the information that installing more
than one desktop is supposed to work. Since Linux is truely multi-user,
different users might have different ideas about which desktop they
prefer when they log in.

How about a note saying that additional desktops can be installed via
the software selection? (Sorry if such a note is there, going back right
now to look isn't so easy.)
