calling it "desktop" fails for various reasons (all of which have been 
discussed extensively elsewhere in past years):

* we have the legacy of "desktop" both in "KDE" and "the KDE Desktop"
* a t.v. recorder is not a desktop. we might be able to grin and say "that 
tablet is running a desktop system", but that is even a bit of a stretch.

that said .. there are certainly bigger issues than this we have to in front 
of us to tackle to bring our efforts into sync.

there will be enough on the agenda without adding marketing to it, and there 
are many people not there who ought to be if marketing was part of the mix.
