 Sure.. I'm hip to their WINE contribution, but I got the
 impresssion from their press release :

http://www.corel.com/news/1999/april/april_21_1999.htm

 that they were putting, or planning, effort into 'enhancing'
 the K Desktop Environment, and all that that implies.

 Comments like :

"Our project's continuous dedication to create an attractive, stable and functional
desktop environment and Corel's experience in building state-of-the-art graphical
interfaces will help offer users an even better experience with the award-winning KDE,"
said Cristian Tibirna, KDE's representative in Canada. "We're all very excited about the
new prospects."

 ... suggest they're aiming at something other than Win-lookalike apps
 running under KDE.

 I was merely curious if they should be approached by the KDevelop
 team -- there seems to be potential gains for both parties.

 Cheers,
 Jedd.
