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.

The point is that pretending KDE and GNOME are separate is dumb. People don't want to target KDE or GNOME, they want to target Linux, or even free operating systems in general. Havoc has the right idea here.
No. This is what you (and other freeloaders) want free DE developers to do. All KDE system developers (and GNOMEers too) have the right to spend the time in their lives they donate to the free software world developing any code they wish, to any language, library or spec they choose.
Hopefully, the recent spate of outside whining will not change that. It's great you like Havoc's ideas - many do not. I encourage you to join that project and try to make it better.
Also, diversity is a GOOD thing. Too many years with your throat under the Microsoft boot have apparently taught you (and Eugenia) to fear having more than one choice.
