Actually, I was going to start a discussion on renaming our "-profile" spells 
to
simply the name of the desktop, like "gnome", "kde" or "enlightenment".

I think this would be much easier for new and existing (and old!) users alike.

For instance, right now we have a "kde-profile", "gnome-profile" (gnome1),
"gnome-2-desktop-profile" (gnome 2.4) and "gnome-desktop" (gnome 2.6). While I
applaud supporting multiple versions of the same desktop... perhaps it could 
be
done like the "linux" spell, where you "cast gnome" and get a menu.

Besides, don't you think that "cast gnome" or "cast kde" is much more 
intuitive,
from a new-user standpoint?

Comments? Flames?
