+<PRE>Le samedi 23 octobre 2010 &#224; 23:54 +0800, Kira a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> &#22312; Sat, 23 Oct 2010 23:51:19 +0800, Wayne Sallee
+</I>&gt;<i> &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">Wayne at waynesallee.com</A>&gt;&#23531;&#36947;:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; It gives a second desktop to fall back on, and guarantees all
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; dependencies for KDE or GNOME aps, provides a fall back method to adjust
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; setting such as font and such for desktop aps used in the other desktop,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; and gives the newbe the ease of switching to the other desktop until
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; they decide which one they like. And installing both desktops is an easy
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; way to install all standard aps for both desktops, and that new standard
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; apps for the unused desktop is installed with desktop updates, so that
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; it's there if you need it. Just like I like to have several internet
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; browsers even though I rarely use the others. If one is giving you
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; trouble, you can try the other.
+</I>&gt;<i> For fallback purpose, then you should get a light-weighted, but full
+</I>&gt;<i> feature
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> DE, which is not GNOME/KDE's strength. Currently in FREE version, the
+</I>&gt;<i> fallback
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> DE is LXDE, which does its job right and is really useful.
+</I>
+Excuse me, but in which case does people requires a fallback ?
+
+Should we install nginx along apache to offer a fallback ? Should we
+install another distribution along mandriva, to get a fallback ?
+I do not think so, so why would a DE be so different on that matter ?
+
+The only case I can see is when the regular DE is broke in the devel
+version and this case do not really apply to users of stable release.
+
+And installing 2 ( or more ) DEs will :
+- double the QA work
+- increase the load on mirror in case of updates ( since every default
+user will get gnome and kde update )
+- increase the installation time ( because you have more packages to
+unpack )
+- likely increase the complexity of the menu ( unless we decide that kde
+software do not appear in gnome and vice versa ), which is turn is bad
+for most users, especially those that do not know the distribution
+- will likely provides a bad user experience when it come to program
+association ( ie, what will be started when I click on a text file,
+gedit, kate ? )
+
+So to me, this is not really worth the tradeoff.
