Score one for KDE! I'm a Gnome user, myself, but when I hear things like this I consider a switch. KDE developer Zack Rusin posts that he's got most of the HTML Canvas element for KHTML finished. This brings to mind a question - will we be looking at a Dashboard-esque interface in KDE 4 or will we see something more akin to NeXT's dock? Dave Caolo of tuaw ponders the widgets that depend on Applescripts. My immediate guess is that those won't function, but that there aren't a lot of them. More important to me is the ability to see a standardized widget format which can be imported into things like the Yahoo! Widget Engine for Windows and OS X, KDE, and Dashboard. Standardization would be great.
