They're trying to piggyback on our success. > Personally, I think this is odious, but hey... GNOME claims GIMP as a part of GNOME because it really *should be*. As desktop agnostic as GIMP pretends to be, it requires all the same things the GNOME requires, and can't be configured through any of the standard mechanisms for those things (the GNOME people were gracious enough to make GTK themes in such a way that they apply to GIMP, but they can't do much other than that -- dialogs and buttons in GIMP will never look quite 'right' on any desktop.) GIMP, after all, spawned GNOME -- if it weren't for GTK, GNOME probably never would have been started in the first place. GNOME extended the rather clean and well-designed UI of the gimp into an entire desktop environment. I'm sure that many folks at Adobe think that what you're doing is 'odious' too -- just 'piggybacking' on photoshop. Let's keep in mind what side of these lines we're on.
