In the latest issue of the Linux Gazette, there is an article which
describes the Gnome Project, a graphical desktop for Linux which has been
rapidly developing during the past year. One point in the article
attracted my attention: apparently the system comprises a number of
discrete components, each of which fulfils a particular role. One example
discussed in the article was of an e-mail client, for which it would be
readily possible to substitute an alternative (such as an Emacs mail
reader) whilst still retaining integration with the remainder of the
desktop.

What consequences, if any, does this design have for the development of
alternative, non-visual interfaces? Linux Gazette is at
http://www.linuxgazette.com/ and the Gnome project has a web site at
http://www.gnome.org/
