I used 2.10 for like a week or so, but it does not run stable (gnome-terminal) and it does not contain innovative applications (like rhytmbox, which is a iTunes wannabe) Some time ago i used gnome 1.4 and was quite happy with it, there was not much eye candy, but at least it worked find. Since gnome 2 the project is just totally broken and disappointing. KDE 3.4 is now much better, it's still not perfet, but more stable, faster and looks better. Another example is kpdf, which is a really good pdf viewer (just compare it to gpdf which never ran stable) Why gnome?

Will this be updated in the PR2 timeframe? BTW: I'm happy to see a Debian based distro which uses a properly configured Gnome desktop as the default. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have Brandon get X.ORG into SID so that it could be included in the various derivative distributions like Progeny. P.S. To the previous poster: What is innovative about an iTunes clone? I'm more interested in an up to date Evolution 2.2.x (especially calendaring) since it permits me to run Linux as my primary desktop at work. Updating Evolution to the Sid version in Progeny would make me happy. LSB 3.0 seems to be trending toward GCC3.4, and CL3PR1 is still stuck with GCC3.3. Will this be updated in the PR2 timeframe?
