*Official Announcement:* Ubuntu Studio is switching to XFCE.

[Kenneth Koym]

Whereas I've plugged away with 10.04.02 LTS - kxstudio 64 amd and saw no
build up comments regarding going to xfce which I suffered with over 1.5
years with no known supporters, I am a bit appalled at the sudden off course
decision to suddenly jump forth with an "Officially Announced" boondoggle..
Good, developers made a decision. Make it work and at least talk about
"Here's a place to download, etc." After all, if it's official, act
official.
