I guess im not sure its appropriate for a GNOME developer to talk about GNOME 
at a KDE developer conference at all.  I guess if it was confined to interop 
or Free Desktop standards it would be okay, but im not sure it makes any 
sense for them to talk about GNOME. I mean we can find this on the web with 
no issue.  

DBUS is an interesting idea and freedesktop is an awsome subject, but im not 
going to pay to go sit through a talk on GNOME.  Id rather hear how DBUS is 
going to integrate with KDE, or how we need to define more standards in 
freedesktop.org.

Just my 2c
