Add to that: opening a lot of terminals on several virtual desktops
upon login, and displaying the Psi notification icon... ah... and
the clock.

Let's see when the clock will be removed "Oh you can conveniently find
it in Applcations => Tools => Tiny => What you always need => Clock"
and automatically opening terminals is blocked as "you stupid people
should use graphical applications, not shells!"

I have nothing against features being available. They should be there
when needed. But they must not stand in the way to work EFFECTIVELY.
And removing things like handy terminal starter IS counter-productive
for almost anyone.

But we are supposed to subscribe to some more a couple hundred postings
per day mailing lists to argue about it as our distribution vendor who
is THERE to fit the rough pieces together so they make actual SENSE
doesn't care. Except of course for things like a custom desktop
background. That's important and a necessary deviation from upstream.
