Another issue is that Gnome3 needs 3D and does not work with x2go (and probably freenx/nx if that is going to be packaged). And I almost never work directly at a console. KDE seems to mostly work, but it is annoying to have to switch after all these years of RedHat pushing GNOME.

To clear something up, IIRC 7 uses GNOME Classic - not stock GNOME 3 - as its default, which does *not* require 3D.

In the default desktop, GNOME looks a lot like GNOME 2x.

This isn't to say we shouldn't package Mate or Xfce or any additional desktops for CentOS - but it'd be good to make sure people are moving away from the defaults as an informed choice.

Best,
