Just to add my opinion. Thus far the selection of packages seem very
good, however may I suggest Beryl instead of Compiz? The reason why I
ask this is simple: performance. Beryl seems to be (quite a bit) faster
than Compiz.
This has come up on fedora-devel - frankly, from my experience with
such things as how beryl-settings is done, I can't really support
using it anywhere by default.
Another program that I'd rather use and I 100% agree with its
inclusion
is Banshee over Rhythmbox. Not that I don't like Rhythmbox, but rather
that Banshee uses Mono instead of Python, and in my (albeit personal)
tests, I've found that Mono is less of a resource hog than Python both
in memory fingerprint and CPU time, at least on x86_64, where in x86
they both are pretty much the same (seems the memory fingerprint of
python on x86_64 is exaggerated quite a bit in regards to its i386
version, more than twice the memory print... Maybe a leak?).
1) I wouldn't make languages a big deciding point
2) rhythmbox doesn't use that much python
It may only be me, but of the system-config* utilities, wouldn't
it also
make sense to include system-config-display? Speaking of the
system-config utilities, how about these:
system-config-display needs to die.
system-config-language
Why not use the language setting in the DM? This only affects the
console and the gdm default.
system-config-samba
gnome-user-share?
