Davyd and J5 are talking about a shared COM layer between KDe and Gnome. Jono’s been talking about the possibility of this for years, and every time he suggests it it meets with utter scorn from me. If it turns out to work and be possible then I will eat a large dish of humble pie (maybe even humble funky pie?), but I won’t care because KDE and Gnome will be totally interoperable and that will be great.
