I fully agree with the need, but from a "leadership" perspective I still 
don't know that that is a goal GNUstep sees for itself.  Put another 
way, it was said that GNUstep has 2 types of users and 2 types of 
developers.  They were never explained, so I still have absolutely no 
idea what those types are.  Point being, *is* a desktop environment the 
kind of dogfood that is a priority at this point, or is some other 
"type" of need going to provide the most bang for the buck?  This is why 
I think it is so important to have the big picture all figured out 
first.  Profile before you optimize.
