GNOME & KDE somewhat increase the fragmentation.
The trend (for GNOME & KDE) seems to be:
--- Debian figured out unified management of window-manager menus.
Does GNOME use it? Of course not. They created their own and stick to that.
Result: package-maintainers have to support Debian, as well as, GNOME menues.
--- Debian figured out unified management of preferred applications.
Does GNOME use it? Of course not. They created their own mechanism.
Result: users have to set preferences at two (or more) different places.
--- (and now the PackageKit stuff)
as if, GNOME was somehow special and deserved special treatment. :-/
Imagine, what would happen if everybody behaved this way...
