Re: GNOME Question??


GNOME defines a language and platform-independent API atop which the
GNOME-aware window manager sits, and an API for communication among GNOME-aware
applications.  Specifically, the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker
Architecture) design allows for coding-independent applicaton communication,
similar to OLE from the windows world (dragging), session-aware
applications with the possibility of restoring from a saved session, document
standardization, OpenGL support, and so forth.  It does this in open-source.
KDE uses QT, and thus is not OSS.
