They both need a theme overhaulIf the goal is to make KDE and Gnome/Gtk themes compatible, I think the right way to make this happen would be to create a new theme system that could be compatible with both systems.
There are several exciting theme systems out there now: both PicoGUI's theme system and Enlightenment's Ebits are theme systems based on a database, capable of storing data for the windowing system, the widget toolkit, and all the applications. If a system like this were implemented in the major GUI toolkits and window managers on the desktop, it should give a way for all applications, toolkits, and window managers to be consistant and completely under the user's control.

From the developer communityAs a company, Agenda Computing USA is long gone. The office in Germany (Agenda Computing GmbH) still exists and is finacially a distinct entity. They are still developing software and even accessories that weren't available from the US.
The community itself is currently debating the best way to move off of Agenda Computing's servers (which are likely going to disappear without notice in the next several months). Once the community switches over, all of the software can be maintained by the community.
Other people, such as myself, are working on Linux-based PDA software that is platform independent. PicoGUI, for example, runs on the VR3, the Helio, PC's, OS X (I think...), and several embedded systems. With this kind of development, the success of the software does not depend on the success of any particular piece of hardware.
