>Third-party software is free to implement the common specification or
not. Should they choose to not implement it or use the functionality if
available in their toolkit of choice, their software will not work well
on Ubuntu or many of its flavours. We hope they would choose to work
well with our product, but ultimately it's their decision and I assume
they do not make it lightly.

It would be true if you'd really removed systray support completely,
however you left hardcoded exception for Wine and Java which say - we
don't really care about user experience as it's obvious that hardcoding
exceptions for two non-linux native toolkits could not pass any QA. So
we are just reducing customizability of our DE to just force developers
to take our specs if they wanted to run apps on our DE. Funny thing that
this other DE, which has not been adopted your specs, do the same -
insulting own users by removing customization options.
