[ubuntu-studio-devel] availability of alternate DEs

[lukefromdc at hushmail.com]

The main issue I have seen is having to tweak startup prograns from a session's
control panel to keep multiple copies of the desktop icons from being displayed
by multiple file managers. I have MATE, GNOME, and Cinnamon installed and 
can configure any one of them at a time to properly show the desktop, but not 
seamlessly session switch without having to either start or kill a file manager
from the alt-F2 dialog. So trivial for me I think little of it but yeah this could 
flummox a new user.
