A large number of Gnome apps are also using XML or moving to XML formats. A very good example is glade, the GTK application builder, which saves it state as an XML file. > To be fair, the main Gnome spreadsheet also uses a (no doubt > incompatible) XML-based save format. Yep, Gnumeric uses XML (actually gzipped XML on disk) and uses namespaces. I'm pretty sure it's incompatible, since when I coded the XML export I didn't know that KDE would do alike. There is a virtual cookie reward to the first sending me a good example of KDE spreadsheet XML file :-) . A clean DTD would be even better.
