You do have a point there. Okay personally I can't stand KDE4 but LXDE on something like Linux Mint LXDE edition is great and easy to lock down (menu items are a set of Desktop files in /usr/share or something along those lines which can be removed to remove menu items).

But I suppose Paul has chosen something he's more familiar with, and I can perfectly understand that.
