But they do. The GNOME developers are just refusing to use C++ libraries regardless of whether they use KDE features or not, and KDE developers see no reason to develop libraries in inferior languages.

The issue crops up time after time on freedesktop.org. Using glib is "okay", but libstdc++ is evil.
