- C# introduces some ideas that are, imho, an improvement over java such as boxing, where for example, a native type such as an integer is transparently converted to the object type without the need for function calls.
Boxing? Why would I need to do boxing with my data?
I often look down at KDE efforts, finding them... erm, unoriginal. Like we've got an army of straight-out-of-incubator kids with one notion of "right" software preset in their minds: Windows is the model GUI/desktop, C++ is the only true programming language (and others can go down the drain), MS Office is surely the only office suite they pay regard to, and so on. Not only that, they want to emphasize this "reproducing the best" feeling in names of their projects. Come on, make something new.
Wow. But let's speculate on how could it be achieved. Do they dump core of every running process (well, except system ones) and then restore them? Please check the memory footprint of your Q3 and other nifty apps and try to figure out how many seconds and megabytes does it take to dump them on logout.
OTOH, X11/GNOME apps can save what they choose to save. And I bet their saved data doesn't take megabytes.
for another open-source project: International Components for Unicode. They really think of us the people of the whole world. I hope this will obsolete gettext.
From what little I know of russian, it has a very simple writing system that is even clearer and simpler than e.g. german, danish or norwegian.
Schaz. It's not particularly simple or phonetically clear. There are rules that help to deduce what letter to spell, but in many cases you just have to know, as you have to do with English. The percent of people that spell illiterate is large here in Russia.
Chief constructor Sergey Korolyov is/was praised in Soviet Union/Russia nearly as much as the first cosmonaut. Science and engineering were cult in this society and everyone knew their heroes. Of course, after their names were brought to the public -- for a long time Korolyov was referred in documents only by a cryptic guise.

On an Unix with XFree86, try:
man xsm
Having GNOME installed, try:
man gnome-session
/me is in bright mood after setting Galeon up to be preloaded in the gnome-session and then brought up in a second.

Imagine: system interfaces described in IDL, seamless CORBA forwarding... That would be fun.
