A blog entry by Jure Repinc tells us about some of the new features in KDE 3.5 which according to this schedule isn't quite finished yet. Amongs other things, there will be a Storage Media Notification dialog and some more eye candy in Kicker.

This is not true, although you probably don't realize it. If I want to make a derivative work of a desktop that is based on freedesktop.org specs and some component I wanted to change was based on QT, then I would be forced to buy a TrollTech license.
Not true. GNOME desktop is mostly GPL too. Only the libraries are LGPL. The "desktop"(the applications) are already GPL, so you can't do that either with GNOME.
Also, if there is a freedesktop standard about something, and you code to follow that standard (so your app will work in all linux desktops), it does not matter if the desktop is GPL or LGPL based.
I give you an example: suppose that there is a panel applet standard, that is free. If the panel app that will display your proprietary applet is GPL or LGPL does not matter, because the GLP app is simply implementing this standard.
So stop the FUD.
