That sounds workable, so long as someone's actually making sure we *do*
comply with those. Has anyone checked that yet? I'd rather not throw it
in the criteria and then have to fudge it immediately :)

We used to have polish criteria for the desktop, and then we'd
inevitably find issues late in Final testing and no-one would want to
block release for them, it got to be a bit absurd, which is why we
dropped those criteria a couple of releases back. I'm fine with having
them, but it needs a concerted effort to actually live up to them, and
to really consider them to block the release.

The Tech Spec I was reading as I wrote my mail (sorry if I didn't make
that clear) states that GNOME and KDE must use a unified appearance.
That's what I was referring to.
