Hmm... FORGET (Firefox Openoffice.org Realplayer Gnome Evolution Thunderbird) ?
[I don't remember if Real is part of the open desktop or if using their
  trademark is kosher.]

FOOTAGE (Firefox OpenOffice.org Thunderbird Apoc Gnome Evolution) ?

True.   I suppose something more generic like the Opensolaris Desktop 
Distribution (ODD) would be less susceptible to change.   (The
"Desktop for OpenSolaris" is tempting, but the acronym would be
confusing.  Maybe the "Desktop for the OpenSolaris Environment".)
