I dunno . . . given the Xfce (the OTHER lightweight DE) team's decision |
| 25 |
to start getting rid of the xfce-* categories, near as I can tell, is |
| 26 |
this really consistent with what the rest of the desktop teams are |
| 27 |
doin'? Or is it just Xfce that seems to be less consistent with other |
| 28 |
categories. |

Aside from these recent actions, lxde categories seem like a good idea, |
| 31 |
same as for all our other desktops. |
