No for the first question. I don't think so at least.
But yes for the last one provided that they implement it.
It will probably be possible, after the 1.0 release of GnomeMeeting,
to have the GnomeMeeting CORBA (yes Gnome uses the CORBA standard, not KDE)
component in Evolution, or Nautilus (imagine, in the desktop itself), or 
OpenOffice, or ...

Not a lot, and it is the same for the reverse. Notice that Gnome uses a
standard for the interoperability :CORBA. It is not true for KDE; but I can
be wrong.
