I came across Etoile a few weeks ago, and just wanted to say that the more I read the design ideas on the website, the more excited I get. It's awesome to see some new ideas in desktop UI!
I thought I'd mention a few projects that I hadn't seen discussed here, but you might be interested in. One is the libraries made for the next version of Enlightenment. I've been using the window manager for a while, and for things like image scaling, thumbnailing, etc. I think they have the best code around. http://www.enlightenment.org/Enlightenment/DR17/ (BSD license) Another is Zero Install; it's the most interesting approach to installing software I've seen. While it sounds like Etoile doesn't focus on the concept of an Application, the Zero Install approach would work just as well for installing new services, frameworks, etc., I think. (LGPL, I think) http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/ I noticed on the 'Goals' page there is a list of other desktop projects, maybe these could go there.
