 Description: Framework for setting up desktop profiles
- KDE, Freedesktop, XFCE (>= 4.2), ROX, and UDE all natively provide a way to use
- profiles (by setting certain environment variables), while GNOME can be made
- to support profiles with a small hack. This package provides a framework for
- using profiles with any and all these environments.
+ The different Desktop environments in Debian all offer the possibillity of 
+ customizing them through the use of profiles (sets of configuration and/or
+ data files). Usually it's also possible to stack configuration sets,
+ combining the customizations provided by a number of profiles.
  .
- The framework allows profiles to be activated based on group membership and/or
- the succesfull completion of arbitrary shell-command(s). Adding a new profile
- is as simple as dropping a file in /etc/desktop-profiles.
+ This package offers a standard cross-desktop way of managing the conditional
+ activation of available profiles (e.g. activate profile X for all members of
+ group Y). It also offers a way for the sysadmin to set up profile precedence
+ (in case of conflicts, customizations from profiles with higher precedence 
+ take, er, precedence :)
  .
- Native profiles (KDE, GNOME, ROX, UDE) allow you to customize the respective 
- environment completely. Freedesktop profiles allow you to customize XFCE 
- (>= 4.2) completely, but are still rather limited for cross-desktop 
- configuration (this should improve in time).
+ This package currently supports setting up profiles for KDE, GNOME, ROX,
+ XFCE (>=4.2), UDE, and Freedesktop standards. The first four allow you to
+ customize the respective desktop environment, while freedesktop profiles 
+ offer (a growing amount of) cross-desktop settings.

 .SH DESCRIPTION
-Desktop-profiles is a framework for activating and deactivating profiles (conditional setups) for the various desktop environments in Debian. 
+Desktop-profiles offers a standard way of managing the conditional activation of installed profiles (sets of configuration and/or data files) for the various Desktop Environments in Debian.
 .PP
 It currently supports KDE, Freedesktop, XFCE (>= 4.2), ROX, and UDE out of the box. Support for Gconf (i.e. Gnome) profiles  is present but needs a change to the default gconf configuration to be activated (see
