  If you referring to GTK in the sense of look and feel, this is is odd. I 
don't consider GTK to be Gnome the same way that I don't consider qt-based 
applications to be KDE.

  I reserve that classification to a closer integration with the desktop, 
AFAIK this is not the case of the system-tools. :-)

  We are not in the nineties anymore. ;-)

  OK. Nevertheless they are small comparative advantages of GNOME related with 
KDE in Fedora. :-) That is why there Fedora KDE users after all, we are not 
masochists, you know? ;-)

  Notice that the point that Kevin stressed remains, public relations are 
important and you words can be placed out of context quite easily. :-)
Things have been improving a lot, and nowadays I can notice that I am using 
Fedora no matter what the DE I am using (even on XFCE FWIW) and that is more 
visible to me than the differences between the DE's.

  So even if I understand what you mean the communication is important and 
believe me KDE in Fedora feels like Fedora, and sometimes this seems a 
difficult message to pass, both inside and outside Fedora. :-)
