Indeed, this desktop is great. It's now my desktop of choice for new users I help to free themselves from toxic software. Moreover it could be the salvation of the "GTK desktop" since gnome is slowly killed by Novell/MS with their bloats.
As for the great apps like gnumeric, abiword and others... well a task force should free them from gnome dependentcies in order to only depends on GTK libs. Just need skilled people with time... DOH!
