Re: Interesting, but not all brilliant

What this makes possible is having applications use the services of the desktop under which it runs. A user is confronted with one set of standard dialogs, file open, print, etc., no matter what applications they run.

The applications could check what desktop is running, and display the appropriate dialogs.

Yes it would be more maintenance for the developers, but a huge step forward for the users. Imagine all applications using the same print dialog, no matter what framework they are based on. It's not a matter of which print dialog is better.
