Find common grounds for cross desktop implementations

Registered by Markus Kienast

At the current time I still see talent, time and energy wasted by Ubuntu family members of different religion each one trying to reinvent it's own wheel. Instead they should create one stable felly together and apply their unique touch to it by adding their custom hub cap.

A good example to illustrate this is network-manager. The deamon running in the background represents the felly, the common ground. And the Gnome and KDE GUIs represent the individual hub caps.

The next best candidates would be:
Power Management and Laptop Buttons

Both could be handled by a daemon and controled by an individual GUI in each desktop environment.

This is more a general strategy than a specification for a specific application. Anyhow I want to invite everybody to add potential candidates for this approach to the specification wiki page as use cases!

You will find a more detailed argumentation for this strategy on the wiki page as well.
