Swad Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,19461...3129TX1K0000616 Linux Leaps Toward KDE/GNOME Compatibility The Open Source Development Labs, the consortium dedicated to the adoption of Linux, and freedesktop.org, the open-source project focused on interoperability for X Window System desktops, announced the technology preview of the first set of common interfaces for the GNOME and KDE Linux desktops, on April 4 at LinuxWorld in Boston. The Portland Project's technology preview is focused on two sets of interfaces—a suite of command-line tools and a set of library APIs called DAPI. Portland was the project started by open-source desktop Linux leaders with the mission of dramatically simplifying the process of porting and integrating applications on GNOME and KDE Linux desktops. The final set of the interfaces is slated for inclusion in the LSB (Linux Standard Base), the Linux industry's standard of record for interoperability between applications and the Linux platform. ---------------- If it works out, this is great news!

domino Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Me wont be shuffling distros till compiz and Xgl get near beta stage. It would prolly be another gnome and kde version till that happens. Until then, I'm eyeing on the Kororaa Project. They just about got the Xgl and compiz Live CD. Ain't that a treat! But don't expect to much this early Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14106-kde-and-gnome-come-together/#findComment-89777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
