Because KDE people hate Gnome people and vice versa, and because the rest of the world just neglects the two races for political reasons. Maybe the Freedesktop project should provide some convenient specification/code to do it. Like they do for HAL and DBUS (Please note that this is something interesting because it does clever things on hardware without requiring to patch the kernel.) > > In case of marketing it's up to the distributions to provide > > something concise so everyone can use their programs through a > > coherent namespace.

If the distributors really want to be able to gain money, and if the Free Unix community wants to gain a significant market share, this is supposed to happen. It's the question of whether we can ignore our childish concept wars, or if we're always going to stay at that low level we're at now. Actually, this can't be fixed by putting everything into the kernel.
