A KDE developer tipped me off to a recent thread discussed in the kde-core-devel mailing list regarding interoperability between KDE and Gnome. OSNews featured an interview with the usability experts from Gnome and KDE a few days ago and we expected that the spirit of co-operation would continue to get stronger every day. Luckily this is true regarding most of these developers, but not for all of them are sharing it. Here is a commentary on the issue followed by a summary of the long thread.

I think both have benefits / disadvantages. However the main disadvantage, and what I feel is holding back linux on the desktop, is the differences in implementation and general "My x is better than your y".
What I would ideally like to see is something like UnitedLinux with the desktops. But rather than just the standards (like freedesktop), instead implement a new UnitedDE based on contributions from Gnome, KDE, xfce etc. The dominant coding hackers who aren't elitist about their DE can contribute to this environment as well as their DE of choice.
This is the only way we are ever going to see a truly unified Linux Desktop for the masses IMO.
