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.

Sigh..
- Why don't they create a general HTML library out of KHTML that could be used by KDE (std widgets), Gnome (std widgets) and Apple (Safari)?
- Why don't they (KDE/Gnome) use one big library for STL-like stuff? (lists, queues, hash tables, string support, etc)
- Why am I replying to this article while I know the previous stuff will never happen?
(altough I would really like that, just take the good stuff of both environments and create _general_ desktop libraries out of them)
Wishful thinking..
