I think many of the Linux desktop's problems can be traced to the artificial walls between projects. Everything that ships on the GNOME OS DVD is GNOME's responsibility, including apps like LibreOffice. If an improvement needs to be made, it should be made in the proper place even if that is not "your" project. And if LibreOffice doesn't accept GNOME's patches then GNOME has to fork it.

i think it became pretty clear from the latest Gnome articles that such forks are very unrealistic. In my opinion it's the responsibility of the LibreOffice team to deliver a good user experience on the supported operating systems. Gnome develops appropriate APIs and guidelines and it would be Gnomes responsibility to make sure LibreOffice has all the APIs it needs to work as good as possible.

Also, this is no artificial wall, this is reality. MS isn't responsible to fix Adobe Photoshop and Gnome isn't responsible to fix Blender.
