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.

Why not let one pull ahead of the other? Would you advocate that MSFT drop everything they're doing, so they can "unify" with Amiga? And saying that having KDE and GNOME separate will slow down the adoption of Linux is bull. What will slow things down is for KDE to try to "unify" with GNOME. Gnome is falling behind - let them die, it is faster this way. Or let KDE die. Just because RH can't bring themselves to deal with KDE doesn't mean the whole Linux community needs to drop everything and "unify" so that RH can be happy. Sorry, let RH learn to deal with KDE - buy Trolltech if they have to, whatever. But don't cripple KDE (or GNOME) in the name of "unity". How would this sound: "hey windows users, here, we have ONE desktop, that won't confuse you, sure it is mediocre as a result of "unity", but hey, it is only ONE". No thanks.
