I would be willing to contribute what I can (I can't program in C++ at
all, but I can do other languages & I'm willing to learn & will probably
have to learn at some point being a CompSci student anyway)

GNOME does have a lot of other neat stuff - drag'n'drop, session memory,
etc., and it's supposed to be a nice development environment. Plus,
everything that uses GTK+ is going to look nice and standard across the
board, which makes for a cleaner interface. 

On the other hand, CORBA seems to be a big fat cow. Although a rather
talented big fat cow ;) I would be seriously interested, though, to see
how much of a speed improvement could be achieved using wmx versus
enlightenment.
