Well, for instance I'd like to be able to put gnome panel applets on the kde panel or vice versa. Currently you can't do that, both kde and gnome would have to be working together on a standard docking interface. A standard DND proticol that works well between the two would be nice as well. I'd love it if kde were to make their window manager "gnome aware". Currently the only wm that's aware enough of gnome is E (not to say that E is bad, but it runs a tad slow for me), perhaps I should be spending time working on a wm that's 100% gnome compliant. But still, there are some nice applets for kde that I'd like to "dock" on my gnome panel.
I run both KDE and Gnome, It would be great if the two would play nice with each other. My question is: Are there currently any plans for getting kde and gnome to work together, and if so how far along is the gnome team? Is the gnome team even talking to the kde team?
Actually the article does mention something about microsoft possibly porting their win32 api's to linux in order to port office (and other programs). Looks like the embrace && extend policy is in full effect.
