Doh...bad forward :) Actually, GNOME is written in C. And the best thing to standardize would not be binary interfaces (since both GNOME and KDE have numerous bindings in other languages), but IDL interfaces. I know both use CORBA (how extensively I know not), and since the IDL is language-independant (it can be compiled to interfaces for any language for which an ORB exists), it would be the most generic level. Of course, I still stand by what I have said previously, that the time is not yet right for LSB to consider them for standardization.
