I would like to see KDE and GNOME more as separate programs myself. The 
reason for the separation would be more for time line development 
between KDE and GNOME coming out at different times.

It would probably be better to have a bluetooth integrator that allows 
for different developmental cycles. That way, there would be fewer 
complaints when one might decide to upgrade either manager independently.

I am trying out the beta KDE packages and the conflict with the menus 
causing me to have to remove openoffice.org to test out the KDE manager 
gives sight to much more conflicting problems in the future.

Bluetooth probably needs to emerge as an alternative manager, instead of 
as a meshing between the two GUI managers.

Just my thoughts on the separation or amalgamation with the window managers.
