(Mono, OOXML). Targeting the Gnome desktop environment could prove
dangerous in the long run, assuming that one would like its
applications to run on distributions other than SuSE. On the other
hand, TrollTech is being bought by Nokia,
whose commitment to the desktop world remains to be proven. Assuming
that one would like to develop a desktop application (either free or
closed source), which desktop environment would you target, and what
widget tool kit would you use?"df
