In addition, you allow multiple distros of linux to be described, but
you don't provide a means of distinguishing them in the questions. I
would reccomend asking "Which desktop do you use most?" instead of
"Which desktops do you use", and then ask questions about that "most
used" desktop.

Or, provide check boxes on the first page, and then create separate
pages for each desktop selected. That might become cumbersome though.

However, James, distro might make a difference. Many distributions
customize their desktops before shipping. For isntance, Mandriva ships
pre-release/SVN builds of KDE. Kubuntu ships extra apps under the "KDE
banner" as well. (They may not be part of KDE, but they definitely
appear so to users).
