That is true, there might be some custom parts in the DE's. I those cases I |
| 13 |
think we should have some "vanilla" useflag that turns of |
| 14 |
customizations/hacks that are gentoo-specific and are safe to turn of |

I for one would like the possibility of automated menus. But I feel such a |
| 25 |
system needs to be respectfull of what the wm developers use. This would mean |
| 26 |
that some user visible changes (like different locations of files) need both |
| 27 |
be made optional and need to be documented. |

No, you're right (except that k3b falls under the resp. of -desktop), but the |
| 43 |
general issue might be more prominent. |
