You are right. OH! And Big Boss Debian is now one of my employers (they don't 
pay though), so if it is good, count it as in Debian :)  As for the DE 
unspecific, how would you go about doing this? KDE uses Qt, GNOME uses GTK. 
If we do one for GNOME, then in order for it to work in KDE we have to 
install the GTK libs. Now if we create a backend, or take a backend that is 
already there, then we create a Qt and GTK frontend for it. Unless we go with 
Python and tkinter which isn't all that pretty. The only way to go DE 
unspecific is Java ;)  Ya, didn't think so ;p
