[conspire] Desktop survey

Quoting Michael Paoli (Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu):

> If you *really* want DE ...

As long as we're providing that sort of link, Matt Chapman's is a
perennial classic:  http://www.xwinman.org/

It's venerable enough that the site actually predates the concept of a
'Desktop Environment', which in a way is why it's calleed XWinMan -- but
Mark has added coverage of (some) DEs to his prior coverage of (some)
window managers.  One notable attraction to the pages there is
user-contributed screenshots, so you know what an asserted-typical setup
looks like.
