You know, just now, whenever I try a KDE app in GNOME it sucks, because it really does not fit the gnome philosophy which I am so used to, but the same would go for gnome apps in KDE environment. But I perfectly understand the reason why people use cross desktop/not-native applications as I used to do it as well and I'd like them to have the option to at least have the looks similar (we cannot alter the 'feel' part). And you know, even when you manage somehow to find a gtk/qt themes that look precisely same and the same goes for an icon theme, you can tell which app is from gnome and which from KDE with quite a good accuracy. It's because the different approaches the projects have chosen and it's what really makes kde apps look weird in gnome, it's not about FLOSS at all, you know KDE is just as FLOSS as Gnome. Martin
