If you take a look at the kde integration, it's nowhere near how a kde or qt app looks like. So implying qt rather than kde doesn't make things any better. > So how does gnome make any more sense? It's not using a gnome UI either. It makes sense because 'gtk' does not equate to 'desktop', while 'gnome' does. You'd have to rewrite the program to have it integrate with either gtk or qt in full. This is why: Integration with the desktop rather than the widget style does not carry a strong obligation, because you can smack on some icons and you can call it "integration". > No, this is just wrong and reinforcing bad practice. Indeed, but nobody is reinforcing anything. To you it may be wrong, but to others it may not. In this case it's just a simple matter of what looks OK and what is enough. Renaming 'gnome' to 'gtk' will _not_ make things any better, aside from serving the personal satisfaction of some. In short, there is no need to be anal.
