How Would You Refocus Linux Development?

Granted, this is important to the Linux community, but when I hear Linux development, I think kernel, modules, and organization

Then you didn't read the summary very carefully:
if you were able to devote a 'significant' number of resources (read: high-quality developers) to a particular app or area of the kernel

In other words, something that improves KDE, Gnome, X, etc. is a perfectly fine answer to this question.
