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.
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.
Well, Stephan, exchange "convenience" for "usability" if you like, but I still see it as less than optimal to present the user with three choices but say "you can only have ONE here, if you want others, you must dig for them!"
