Anyone know of any style guidelines for Gnome or KDE applications?
Gnome definitely has interface guidelines. GNUstep works from the NeXTstep 3.3 user interface manual. Presumably XFCE works from the CDE ones. I don't know about KDE.
That's not answering what was asked, though. There are style guidelines for the above, but users want (need?) to mix applications from these platforms. That's something powerful that you can't do on most other systems which only have one desktop layer. Expecting "Linux" to have style guidelines is like expecting a common interface to your car engine, to re-use an earlier analogy.
