Any examples?
I THINK he means whether or not you will be using an object oriented programming model and programming language (or interpreter on the runtime or macro level), which has certain advantages (everything like programs, icons, files, windows etc. are objects where all the code needed to manage the object is included in the objects class, and not spread across different places in the code), and disadvantages (well, object oriented code tends to get voluminous and slow, maybe even buggy, at least that is the common perception). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming Gnome and KDE both use object oriented models for their desktops, where KDE also uses an object oriented language, while GNOME works more with procedural languages (C) and its own object management code. Btw, for LXDE, I would, independent of that question, opt for using anything that is stable, small (in the total resources footprint) and fast, even if it means less features. I like C, even that it means you have to be extra careful about memory management and pointer arithmetics. One of the "major features" of LXDE for me was always that it needs less than 5 seconds to start up all necessary components (lxpanel, pcmanfm, window manager), instead of initializing a lot of services before you can do actual work on the desktop. I hope that the new versions of lxpanel and pcmanfm will still be similarly efficient, no matter which model or toolkit you will use.
