So you consider ORBit et al to contribute nothing of value to
GNOME, or DCOP for KDE? The value of the desktop environment is
the consistent framework for intercommunication between the
"motley collection of X11 clients" as you call them. 

We're obviously going to disagree on this (we disagree on it
already) - but hey, that's kind of what mailing lists are about
:)

By the way, by all accounts, KDE 3 is a big advance on 2.2, and
I can vouch that GNOME 2 is looking very slick indeed.

Cheers,
Dave.
