I find this quite amusing, you keep harping on freedom, and free software, but conveniently dont mention the fact that a significant effort of Gnome is being spent on development using Mono, which is based on a non-free language!
I'd say there's nothing wrong with developing Gnome using Mono, which is based upon some standards - ECMA standards. There was a lot of hue and cry over the patents issue, but this seems to have largely settled down. One can use name spaces and packages that are non-MS - GTK#, for e.g.
Also, isn't dbus supposed to be a "unifying architecture" ? I'd intended to explore this sometime, but I just haven't made the time for such stuff yet. :(
