the SUSE letter
(http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=106855804831790&w=2) to the
KDE folks: "...we will also enable our
customers to use GNOME with the same convenience and comfort KDE offers..."

This is one of the goals of the Installer project, and the time frame
will prolly mean moving it to the second Milestone.

Extending the current GNOME Preferred Application to include audio and
video at the very least would be a good thing.
