I'd be interested if a number of groups got together to produce a
document explaining what makes a program usable. Obviously one factor is
consistency with other programs the user uses, but that is only one
factor, and does not apply to the overall design of programs (it's no
good if all of your software is broken in the same way). It seems to me
that the real value in collaboration between KDE and Gnome people would
be in being able to share information on what widget behaviours are easy
for new users to learn and what widget behaviours lead to efficient
interaction, rather than just how each project does things.
