I expect this is because they are busy working on a new version. I
would expect to see WP2000 be glibc (hopefully 2.1, since potato will
probably be out before then).
As far as gnome/kde, that might be a pretty big re-write, but I'd like
to see that. The current Linux (and other *nix) versions of WP were
subcontracted to Software Development Corp. I suspect the new stuff is
being done in-house by Corel.
