Rubbish. If it's on my computer than it's my problem and the desktop
support needn't get involved. If there's something I can't fix then
a) they can reimage my machine and b) I should just leave the job anyway
because if I can't run my own machine I certainly can't run anybody
elses.

If an employer tries to tell me which editor, window manager, terminal
emulator, shell, web browser, etc. etc. to use then they can go to hell
while I look for another job.
