Default Chess Re-Unification

What is the current situation in chess?

Let's assume the Kramnik-Leko match goes ahead. The winner is the Classical
World Champion. The idea of the Prague agreement was that this winner would
play the winner of Kasparov-Ponomariov, which is no longer happening. Is
there a replacement match which will decide a "candidate" from FIDE, or is
Kasparov that candidate already? If Kramnik wins against Leko, is it a
Kramnik-Kasparov reunification match? Or has the idea of the Prague
agreement simply collapsed?

Does anyone actually know what's going on?

I just want to see one guy hoisting two of those gigantic, shiny, gaudy
belts after the reunification match is over!
