.. what I would like to see is way more colaboration. Freedesktop should define stuff like OK dialog button order and password stores (Gnome has its keyring, KDE Kwallet and Mozilla has its own ;( ) etc.
And there is soo much tech duplication and NIH in Gnome and KDE. (Beagle, Tracker, Strigi etc .. the list goes on for ages)
The Linux Foundation should really work on these things. They seem really kernel fixated.
Don't wait and hope the Guadec/Akademy double event next year will fix all those issues!
But the recent advancements in Xorg development and this make the future a little bit brighter I guess.
Thanks Mark.
