The top of my Requirements document on this would be:
* Inclusion of large numbers of launchers of
xterms on the desktop where I can set up
commands like: xterm -e ssh amon@<some ip address>
which because of the crypto logins allows me
a single double-click access to any of about
30 machines.
* Ability to set file browser to default to xemacs
for text files.
* Single or double click access to xterm, xemacs,
and a number of other important apps on my desktop.
* Key folders and apps on the desk top, also available
instantly.
* Multiple timezone widget on top tool bar or
elsewhere that is continuously available and to
which I can with a single click check the time
in NY,Chicago,Denver and LA where my customers
are.
* At least 4 desktops, reachable by single click.
These are go/no go requirements, in priority order. Lack of
the top one is an instant down select.
Why not just have a menu entry like X windows has always
had, let the user click on it and change their window
manager at will? Put the customer in the drivers seat.
