This just reminds me of something I had wanted to raise for a while. I saw this on the screenshots and I've seen this in practically every distro which ships WM - the default settings are far from attractive. WM has nice themability, there are awesome backgrounds etc., still the default WM theme is so low-fi that people will just not go for trying it. To us this may not matter much as we've all configured our desktops to something nice, but for newbies there should be a decent pre-configuration to make it attractive (think of the way Ubuntu pre-configures Gnome, that makes a difference). Maybe we can agree on some modest but attractive set of colours, a background image and preconfigured dock to check into the source tree. Paul, if you haven't done so (I've never tried it because I don't need it *g*), in your distro you might even go further and configure some nice dock apps into the default setup. Years ago I used to administer a computer room where I configured WM as the dfault desktop (and where I preconfigured some nice features). Still many students switched to KDE or Gnome, but many stuck with WM and are still using it today.
