Re: Underlying DE for the Workstation product

That is a good question and there is always the risk of 'overloading' the app with to many purposes.
That said in the next version there will be support for installing fonts, codecs and ibus methods, so
there is some precedence for installing things that is technically not an 'application'.

Hopefully some of the designers can chime in on this, I mean we could also considering putting this functionality
somewhere else than the application installer if the designers thinks that is a better option.
