Ouch.  Well, as much dripping sarcasm as this is filled with, that's what I 
understand Lindows to be doing.  In order to make things "easier on the user" 
you pretty much have a single user kind of setup.  Please correct me if my 
impressions on this are misguided.

As for dumbing down the multiple desktops, no way, no how!  That is THE killer 
feature of the KDE desktop as compared to Windows or Mac.  Only *nix has a 
desktop that does this with elegance.  New users love that stuff!

One minor tweak folks might consider though.  Turn off the "Show windows from 
all desktop" by default.  From what little I've seen to date it seems to be a 
point of confusion for new users.  I'd leave the tweak in there, just not on 
by default.

Later on,
