Well Ximian is Novell nowadays and they have a much higher marketing
budget than Trolltech I'd guess. Sometimes i wonder if I'd better switch
to windowmaker. :-)
The real benefit to Gnome/GTK and the reason I think they will win over KDE/QT (I actually like KDE better)
is that Gnome/GTK does not require a license fee to create a closed source application.
I also believe that is why Sun and HP both have pushed to make it their default desktop for their
Unixes. Basically they get the best of both worlds. They get a supported platform that they only need
to "tweak" to make it work for them, plus they can build a ton of closed source applications
without paying a license fee to anyone...

Anyway, how sweet it is that the situation pgsql/mysql is so much easier
to swallow. :-)
