Originally posted by kraftman View PostI would use same name, because it's already well known and both are made by same people. Another reason is to not confusing users. I'm not sure if they differ in such level I mentioned before. I was just guessing why KDE devs chose to rewrite every application.
If they named it something else, people like myself would be willing to consider KDE more seriously. Take a look at XFCE for a much better managed (and thus much applauded) release.

I look forward to seeing Wayland backends for both toolkits, not to mention Firefox and OOo and Cairo. I look forward to seeing if Wayland is actually usable as the actual desktop display server and not just as an X multiplexer, or to see if X just gets those same features and obviates Wayland. For all the complaints against X, it has kept up just fine so far, especially since the X.org rejuvenation. Time will tell, I suppose.
as far as i know firefox uses cairo (cairo is being ported to wayland), GTK (there is also a Clutter Backend for firefox and clutter is being ported to wayland)
woudnt all this mean that firefox will be usable once GTK stuff is ready
also appart from the server/client network thing what functionality of X is still necesary for a desktop??
