And yet, everybody seems to think that Beagle and similar should be 
installed and enabled by default on every desktop system. It's usually

Linux GUIs used to suck horribly. Now they're mostly reasonable, but 
usually not as good as a typical Windows program. (There are of course 
many individual exceptions to this generalisation...)
