It's a good question, one which I've pondered myself... Or there
could be several system-wide configurations to choose from...

Uhm, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say. You have
probably seen there there *are* a bunch of user-provided examples, so
I wonder if you're trying to say there are too many?
The way I see CTWM (and you noted that yourself) is that it provides
an endless amount of hacking possibilities, and thereby provides
choices for a wide variety of personal preferences, so no wonder there
are many different examples on how to do things! I only see that as a
good thing, and I can understand it may be challenging for the newbie.
So I'm getting back to the idea of providing more than one system-wide
configuration. Does it make sense, and most of all, will we all be
able to agree on them? :-)
Cheers,
Richard
