Is there any handbooks about build the Desktop Environment?
I found it is difficult to build up the Desktop Environment with Archlinux.
Of course, I am new to archlinux, and I learnd a lot by using it. I really love it~!
I just want to make my desktop as same as Ubuntu 8.04... It's just a small dream..
I think I need a handbook..... Who can write it or where can find it~! (The wiki is not enough)

The wiki contains a Beginners Guide that should be of help...

If the wiki is not enough, what specifically are your problems?

I want to get a Guide which can teach me to build up desktop environment.
Finally, I can get a desktop enviroment like Ubuntu or openSUSE.....
I had installed the Xorg and Gnome.. I can startx successfully. But it looks so ugly. (No icons, no ..... just a little blank taskbar)

Could you provide a screenshot? Picture? Something?
You say you can startx succesfully. Is this with an unmodified (shouldn't even exist) .xinitrc, or with a .xinitrc configured to start Gnome? If the latter, can you post it?

Well, the most can be set in the appearance menu of System -> Settings. You can find themes here: http://gnome-look.org/ , but be aware it could take some time to set up a desktop environment that fits to you.
