Looks good. The debate between GNOME and Unity and Xfce is interesting. Having tried all three I would say that neither is particularly Trisquel-like out of the box, given the right customizations we can offer all of them and make them all awesome.

By the way, I have free software 3D acceleration on my notebook but only partial on my desktop (through nouveau) so my vote would be against Gnome because their fall back looks significantly different (at least until they finish making it so shell doesn't require acceleration). What sucks about that is, say, for documentation when we say "click here and do this" well if your desktop looks and acts differently it will be confusing - so we should, in my opinion, go with Xfce and "Trisquelize" it or go with Unity and Unity-2D and Trisquelize that as well, only because the former has no need for a fallback and the latter has a fallback that looks and acts like the real thing.

And being a fully-free-software distro many of our users or potential users will be in a situation where a fall-back is necessary, and GNOME's just doesn't cut it.
