I don't want to drown the user in choices; the whole reason for a Live disk like this is to let the user get started doing stuff, and not have to take time picking window managers and other programs. Any window manger will work, as long as it remains the same. Knowing what the interface will look like is very valuable when troubleshooting or writing documentation; nobody wants to have to rewrite instructions three times for every window manager that might be running. My concern (and this is possible with any WM) is that it recognizably looks like a DragonFly system. There should be some obviously available READMEs on the desktop; links to the website, a desktop background pulled from the ones we have saved in cvs:/site/save - etc.
