If the bug is RESOLVED WONTFIX, such as 69707, would you prefer a new one be |
| 8 |
opened or the existing one to be used? |

A couple of suggestions. In order to head off religious wars, it might be |
| 26 |
nice to have individual profiles for kde/gnome desktops. I also suggest |

perhaps calling the fully loaded developer desktop a "workstation", i.e. |
| 28 |
server, desktop, workstation profiles. |
