In general i think that we really need task forces in plural. 
There are a lot of overlapping projects. One example is that KDE and Gnome should merge, at least when it comes to key technologies.

1. We need a standardized method for embedding objects. Like Java Beans
and OLE/ActiveX in Windows. I mean how do you view a office document in
a VS application, or create a PDF report? You find an ActiveX that can
do it. KDE has KParts and Gnome has something similar, but we really
need a standard for this. Or in other words we need a standard for
Custom Controls. In OLE/ActiveX an object can be inproc (dynamically or
statically linked) or out of proc (external server process that starts
on demand). Also the app is totally oblivious to w

2. We need a visual editor that can create new Custom Controls, or
design containers like forms/windows.

The Lazarus FreePascal IDE is an interesting project.

Another thing that we need is a good native database library. We have JDBC and ADO.NET. Perhaps one of them could be ported to C/C++? We also have PHP Data Objects that is quite nice and probably implemented in C, perhaps the C code could be used to make a "C Data Objects"?
