BTW, I should note I am making this offer in good faith. The results of any 
question and answer session clearing up rumors involving FreeDesktop, XWin, 
Gnome, and KDE wouldn't have to be hosted on my site since it's pretty anti-
RH, which would make some people feel uncomfortable. It's my attempt to clear 
the air by allowing everyone to respond to rumors directly and let the users 
know they are not true.
