GNOME

[Tim Schmidt]

Just in case anyone cares, linux.com has a little blurb posted that states 
that KDE and GNOME appear to be heading for a convergence of sorts that

how the different layers of the GUI in Linux behave, but it appears that at 
least one of them will become common between the two projects.
