"The desktop must also be customisable." (from TFA)

Having current Gnome, KDE, XFCE (and maybe the pending Enlightenment
0.17? please?), goes a long way to making this a reality! The new
little "Gnome Art" preference thingie in Breezy is a nice new feature
too! By the way, does anybody know how they decide what artwork makes
it into that client? Maybe I have to go back and give them permission
or something but none of my SVG wallpapers were in there. *shrug*
