Which would be sad. There is a need for competition. A killed competitor makes you win for short, but you loose the force to be better. And it should be rather the closed source competition which should be the "looser", no?

Lucky for us, a switch by Nokia from GTK to Qt would not really harm GTK all that much, I'd say. Still, I have no illusions here. Novell bought Suse and it is not like all of a sudden they became great KDE supporters either.

but in the end they did, and they do more work on KDE than other distro's, so Novell buying Suse turned out to benefit suse and at the same time benefit gnome.

I agree. The other positive thing is that Gnome and KDE run side by side on openSuse better than on any other distro.

It's too early to conclude whether Nokia acquiring Trolltech and with it QT is negative or positive for KDE. I would say, let's wait and see ;)
