That can be solved more easily (and fix the same issues for even more
software) by trying to encourage themes that are compatible between GTK
and Qt, or Gnome/KDE. Or are you going to ask the GIMP / Evolution
/Gnumeric etc developers to switch to Qt also? If there were say 10
high-quality themes with equivalents for
KDE/Gnome/Sawfish/IceWM/Metacity/Enlightenment, and setting one of them
allowed you to choose to set the others, then there wouldn't be a
problem, would there?

If you have run Gnome for any measure of time, you will notice it's
quite a bit faster than KDE (and other WMs are even faster), and
starting up a Qt (or even worse, KDE) app takes a long time. GTK is
probably the best option atm IMHO.

Someone needs to put this into cooker, if not integrate it even better,
and have it part of the default KDE RPMs.

P.S. Is there any good reason why your reply-to address is set (while it
is the same as your normal address?) It messes up the default operation
of 'reply' for this list, which is to reply to cooker.
