"A quiet revolution is taking place on a young mailing list, one that overturns years of false enmity and makes perfect sense to most free software users. Having competed for the free desktop crown since 1997, collaborating on code but never on promotion, KDE and GNOME have launched an initiative to market and promote the free desktop together."

The different desktops are not simply different displayed graphics. they have inherent design differences and there was no comprimise.
I like the two desktops, end users are not soo stupid as to be completely unable to use the two without training. Hell most dont even know when a java program is up even though it looks incredibly different, tand they dont care.
users can adapt to some trivial graphics being different without much trouble
