The idea of moving the configuration to "switchdesk" in the preferences menu might be a useful idea, but only if it works. I recently did some testing on this, and it is basically not working, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110312 Switchdesk offers a lot of uninstalled desktops, and no way to go back to using the system default, or using the users's original .xsession, that is lost forever once a switchdesk selection is made. I liked the old method of choosing a session though the display manager and having the option tyo make your choice the new default. David Jansen
