Yes, and KOM is toolkit independant, bases on CORBA, and so on. So
why not that. It uses X swallowing, so it would work with Gtk+.

Remember that the descision is not only about technical superiority.
It's a descision that will dictate the way linux users work with
their applications in the future.

Considering this, a common object model is IMHO worth much much more
than two different. So the little technical issues regarding KOM/OP
should be worth nothing against the gain of making all KDE and Gnome
apps interoperable in near future.

   Cu... Stefan
