Towards a simpler desktop environment: What is the current state of the art?

[john]

Hi Jordan et al,

Here's a follow up to a discussion we had in May. I have been working
on some of the tips that Jordan sent along (below). One tip that I
would really like to try forces a homepage for all firefox users. It
requires a tool called
'obscure-tool'  which is supposed to ship with the firefox-dev
package. It doesn't seem to come as part of the most current firefox
2.0.0.15+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.4 installed on Fiesty 7.04 which is
what our production LTSP server is running.

Can anyone point me to where I can get copy of this (seemingly obscure) package?

Thanks!

John
