I was told by the creator/maintainer of Redmond Linux that they were going to 
do just that in a future build/version of Redmond Linux.  I don't know if 
this is a choice on install, or an on-the-fly type of choice.  He didn't 
elaborate.  I think it would be a nice on-the-fly type of change.  A user 
could try each or 'graduate' from task-related to standard as time goes on.  
I think the target of Redmond Linux is more towards the nontechnical user.  
IMHO, since different distros target different users, I'd allow the distros 
to package kde to default to one or the other when adding in a new user.  I'm 
sure that if necessary, we could communicate with the maintainer of Redmond 
Linux about this so we don't re-invent the wheel.
