The Gnome HIG is well written and organised, but is not suitable as a quick 
reference for developers (as t is too extensive and does not provide a 
summary of guidelines).

With respect to KDE and Gnome HIG, there are some differences in opinion (e.g. 
modified files are marked by asterisk in the titlebar in gnome, while kde 
uses [modified]), but these are rather minor. Concerning the lack of content, 
there is rather a lack in kde's guide. 

I compared several guidelines and wrote a brief document about the differences 
(merely with respect to the format - as it was necessary to identify what is 
required to make hig readable and applicable). I will probably publish it on 
monday (after aKademy, location will be announced then).

Greetings,
