The Gnome-and-KDE-become-one stuff? Well, that's the personal opinion of=20
STW. Since then, the discussion has rather more evolved into=20
what-can-Gnome-and-KDE-share. And there's no need to run around=20
panic-stricken and proclaiming the end of KDE, since

1. You and all the other Gnome-takes-over-KDE-cantyerseeit's won't be=20
the ones burdening themselves with implementing the stuff anyway
2. The common standards that were defined up to now didn't make KDE nor=20
Gnome lose their individuality
3. Even if they did, you could be sure that you could configure your KDE=20
so that it keeps looking like KDE 3.0.
4. Users probably want it (common DnD protocol, common clipboard=20
protocol, common WM protocol, why shouldn't there a common IPC=20
protocol?)

If you don't like the way the freedesktop.org standards work or you want=20
them to be more KDEish, stop whining and join the respective mailing=20
lists.

This, BTW, holds for everyone and every standards body (except ISO,=20
perhaps). If you have an interest in an evolving standard, join the=20
working group, don't complain only if it's finished.
