[wiki] PAE page: formatting and flavor-agnosticism

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I really liked the screenshot of the boot-up splash screen (dunno what it's
proper name is).  For me that 1 shot was enough for me to solve the
problem.  If that could be near the top of the page it might help.

It might not be the right place for it but would make the page prettier.  I
was also wondering about having the same screen-shot for all the main
different DE's but
1.  that would be 4 extremely similar screen-shots
2.  a bit of a nightmare to update (and set-up)!
So i think there is no point in spending any time thinking about it even
though it might be more politically correct.  Readers can probably cope
with just the colour being a bit different!

Regards from
Tom :)
