All About Deskstop

From the Gnome community, a flurry of releases:

BetterDeskstop.org
Better Desktop is a project dedicated to sharing usability data with Linux developers. Over the past year, we have conducted many usability tests on different parts of the KDE and GNOME desktops. We created this site to serve as a place where developers can watch videos of these tests. Here you will find over 200 videos of people using Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, Open Office, Banshee, F-Spot and other applications.
Better Desktop is sponsored by Novell. It is part of the OpenSUSE project.

Tango Desktop Project
The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces.

Tango Desktop initiative aims to provide:
* A specified default native look.
* A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common look and feel.
* A complete, standard set of application, mimetype, and stock icons to build upon a style guide.
* Cross-desktop humane interface guidelines.

It takes 2 to Tango..
