Yes, they become better integrated, but we're at the beginning of the road, and we still don't even get the easy stuff perfect: L&F, system tray, etc. I can see unifying most settings so we don't have to configure things twice, but we're far away, there seems to be little political will (especially on the KDE side). But what about OLE? KDE will never accept CORBA (for good reasons), while GNOME will not drop it. That's the big one: how do you integrate the apps more than making them just look the same?
This is kind of off topic but I have been pondering this for a while. Is someone working on Xdnd in WINE? I emailed Jean-Claude Batista about his work for Corel using OLE with Xdnd but I dont think anyone is working on this in WINE atm. I would be nice if we could get some sort of OLE <-> Xdnd bridge going that is portable. That way the KDE on Cygwin and GNOME on cygwin people could use it also on X for Mingw/Cygwin.
-- There are a bunch of free Win32 apps on SF which are very popular. I can choose some of those, like eMule, Mozilla/Win32, etc. I may use the ReactOS Explorer replacement instead of Nautilus, if they do a good job with it.
Lets us hope we do a better job then microsoft or no one will use ReactOS or your WIDE <g>
