Comment "KDE or Gnome?" (Score 1) 747
This is something that many seem not to understand. KDE apps run great on my gnome machine. GTK+ apps run fine on KDE. All that's required are libraries, simple as that.
Mr. Miller's hinging point about "which environment do we port apps to" is moot.
Mozilla, for example, is a GTK+ app on any unix, as it is obtained from mozilla.org. They don't ship glib or gtk+ with mozilla, but they provide them on their server, as required by law.
Not to mention the fact that most commercial linux distributions (the ones I'm familiar with, anyway, and also the ones the "average" consumer is likely to use) ship with both KDE and Gnome installed, and all of the libs required to run them.
