I agree, I already have both Gnome and KDE installed, so I'd hate to waste the bandwidth sucking down something already installed. I haven't seen much of any kind of program that didn't work under both. I'd leave it as an exercise for the user to decide what he wants to run as his games desktop. I'm running Croquet (which is practically another OS) on a KDE desktop and with plenty of CPU and memory, no sweat. My older Pentium 4 would gag. So, I'd cure it with xfce. My choice, and I'd make it for me and my needs. That's the Linux way. Keep the spin simply games.
