That's true, to some extent, but not entirely. Many distributions customize the heck out of the desktop (hello, Unity!), and the configuration and management tools are often different. There are two types of Linux desktop users. The first use a distribution, mostly with the default tools. The second use a desktop environment, and usually just figure out which distribution stays out of the way of their desktop customizations. Yes, yes, I know that's a bit of a generalization! Anyway, I think presentations on specific desktop environments would be useful as well.
