The question you posed a couple of days ago has cropped up on this list, promptly followed by an answer, about 11 times in the past 6 weeks. ] How applications choose to behave can't be Debian's problem. That's a loaded statement, and I'm not sure I agree with it. The binaries that you get from Debian are typically modified, to various degrees, by the Debian developers -- backports of security & bug fixes are the obvious example, but also enhancements to comply with the FHS, or modifications to make things integrate more seamlessly. But is it a 'problem'? Some people might think it's normal that you'd have to select with desktop environment you want when you log in. I agree with Adeodato that unstable's a place where not everything makes as much sense. If you think the default WM / DE / UI should be something else by default, then file a bug at bugs.debian.org. Jedd.
