The article is a bit misleading. There is no problem what so ever cutting and pasting back and forth between KDE and Gnome orapplications. Status notifications from KDE shows just fine in Gnome etc.

The problems, if anym is not so much technical, but more a matter of GUI style. E.g. KDE have buttons that say OK and cancel, while Gnome usually have a descriptive verb that tells you what the button does, instead of OK.

However, any help that makes it easier to make applicatons run well in as many environments as possible are always welcome.
