KDE actually *cares* about interoperability with non-KDE software. (KDE has had its own KNotify protocol for years. The new protocol was needed *only* for interoperability with non-KDE software.) * According to that very link, it was Canonical who started the efforts on improving the spec and KDE who joined them as soon as they learned of them. In other words, the projects who objected to the spec as written were the ones who did the work on improving it! Neither Canonical nor KDE just demanded that GNOME made some arbitrary changes as a precondition to even discussing adoption of the spec any further (as YOU personally did for the status notifier spec). KDE's (and Canonical's) behavior for the Galago spec was productive, cooperative and seriously aiming at implementing it as soon as possible. GNOME's behavior for the status notifier spec was the exact opposite. Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
