And speaking of freedesktop.org, it is important to mention the release of HAL 0.1, an implementation of a hardware abstraction layer for KDE, XFce and Gnome, based on a proposal by freedesktop.org’s founder Havoc Pennington. This will bring the kind of integration to the underlying system that current X11 desktop environments lack.”
