Mockup is an Open Source effort to create a desktop operating system that's both usable and accessible.
The so called "Linux distributions for the desktop" don't fit our requirements because they are bloated and full of a lot of stuff that a desktop user doesn't or doesn't want to use. Mixed applications are another problem, for example most distributions mix Qt applications with GTK+ software like GIMP with GNOME applications and software that uses its own widget toolkit like OpenOffice.org.
The lack of an integrated and unique desktop environment is a problem, the most used desktop operating system (such as Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS X) are (almost and often) coherent and integrated systems.
