I think Bob and I were talking about that.  Doing a complete XML based thing
seems like a good idea.

Hey, here's another thought...  Should we make the whole configuration xml
based?  Start menu items, start menu placement, desktop, background.  This
would allow users to easily customize how their desktop appears.  It would
also
make writing configuration GUI's easier.  We could provide a standard class
to
allow manipulation of all the XML files.  Then all that's needed is to slap
a
GUI on top of it.

Other then that, the plan looks great.
