Abstract

In most modern desktops, there is a mechanism to facilitate modular programming through reuse of Components and objects. The current GNOME desktop has much of the infrastructure necessary to provide this style of programming. The future direction of development in GNOME will focus on providing a large set of flexible components for rapid development.
