Desktop Packages

The SL6 desktop package lists are now functional on both i386 and x86_64. We will probably need to add some more software as we go along but the basics are all there and it is possible to login to a gnome or KDE session.

As part of this we have ripped out all the PackageKit packages. These are not necessary since we are managing our machines with LCFG and updaterpms. When Packagekit is installed it regularly bugs users about available updates (which we might not want to be applied) and in some cases it has given them the ability to actually run the updates (which can cause conflicts with updaterpms).
