KDE & Gnome Usability Engineers Interviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the talking-with-the-men-with-the-plan dept.

Gentu writes "After the recent flamewar between the KDE and Gnome user camps, OSNews brings together the most influencial KDE and Gnome usability engineers to talk about how they will be able to overcome a number of obstacles in order to 'unify' KDE and Gnome in ways that could bring to the Unix desktop an easy to use, integrated and fully interoperated DE to better compete with the commercial alternatives. Waldo from SuSE and Havoc from Red Hat are taking part to the interview, and also Aaron, the head of KDE's usability."

    It's not that a command-line interface to a CORBA stub is impossible - far from it, or so I'd hope.

    It's that GNOME has no such standard command-line tool to access the stubs, and (apparently) no such standards for the stubs to comply to. There's no standard CORBA stub interfaces for their apps. So navigating through trees of CORBA stubs in GNOME apps from the command-line is currently impossible, or so I understand.
