I don't see a real interest with such idea when I consider the 
incredible effort which would need to be invested in such project and 
then wouldn't be invested in GNUstep itself and other more important 
related projects. To take an example : lot of things are still to be 
done to be as compatible as possible with Cocoa…

Probably the FreeDesktop idea looks more realistic and promising way to 
try to integrate desktop environments than the RMS idea which would 
translate in the GNOME/KDE case by "create GTK+ bindings for QT and QT 
bindings for GTK+" (that's an example) which seems a bit stupid when 
considered attentively.
