Actually, Gnome (at least the base libraries) is written in C precisely to avoid language dependency issues, since it is possible to make bindings for most other languages on top of a C library. KDE uses C++ because the underlying Qt toolkit is written in C++. -- sparky, whose personal opinion is that none of this matters for LSB 1.0 anyway, so we should concentrate on that and sort this out later
