Integration
Why should I care about Gnome/KDE integration? Seriously. I haven’t use a KDE app in years, and have no real need to do so now, especially considering the killer Gnome apps that the Novell folks are churning out. Gnome has good infrastructure, KDE has good infrastructure, they don’t really need to share. If too much infrastructure is in common, then there’s no real difference between the two, and either the KDE users have to deal with KDE being like Gnome, or I have to <shudder> deal with Gnome being like KDE.
Sure, as fd.o infrastructure matures (such as DBUS), it may be better than what Gnome/KDE are using now, and will be used. But, I like the Gnome apps, and couldn’t care less if I can cut-and-paste video with KDE apps. Seriously.
I never understood this desire to unify Gnome and KDE. They provide different looks and feels, in different ways, and that’s good, as far as I’m concerned. If I was forced to use KDE, I might as well use OSX or Windows.
