    The KDE mentions a little bit of cooperation, and the XFCE guy outright stats that they don't pay a lot of attention to it. The exact words of the Oliver:

    Olivier Fourdan - We are not much involved in the freedesktop.org group. In fact, we try to stay compliant with the freedesktop.org standards as much as we can but we take no part in the standards themselves. We have very limited resources, and being involved with the freedesktop.org would probably mean less involvement with Xfce (well, at least for me).

    XFCE4 is compliant with many freedesktop.org standards, but their developers are not involved in writing the standards.
