One big problem that led to all of the modern desktop bloat is that a large portion of legacy software never got past the "character = glyph" myth and thus can't support text written in the native languages of nearly half the world's population. This allowed GNOME/FDO junk to take over the Linux desktop, since it was not politically viable for major distributions to say "F you" to entire linguistic groups. Rich
