I think xdg-list is the place to discuss it.  I think some of
this is being concerned by moving some of these things into the
freedesktop.org umbrella.  At least you have representatives from
all major desktop projects (eg XCFE, KDE, and GNOME) and can agree
on using one solution.

Already I think there is standardization going on, on many fronts like
window manager hints, and icon themes.
