As discussed on the bug, this will likely help some, but it doesn't help anybody who uses KDE or Gnome. I'd normally suggest a news item, and that would make sense BEFORE making changes like this, but at this point it is a bit like fixing the doors after the horses have already left. It won't even help new users much - their difficulty will be getting these packages installed, so unless we just broadcast it to everybody just in case they want to install qt and chromium, it isn't going to be effective. We almost need some kind of news mechanism for people who are about to install something. Rich
