  ...or a global color setting file. It's convenient to use the qtrc file to 
do so though, yes. But, emphasis on the fact that I also suggested their 
should be a Gnome tool to modify the color file too, so that it isn't a KDE 
color file but a unified color scheme (what users expect when coming from 
other OSes).

  Again, I'm not suggesting desktop environment detection. Rather, I am 
suggesting both Gnome and KDE grab color info from the same place. Just like 
KDE and GNOME have been working to share clipboard info, dot-desktop file 
format info, etc. Or, in a Mandrake-centric example, just like how "menu" 
coordinates menu entries between KDE and GNOME.

  :-) I really should file a bug report in KDE and GNOME. This is something 
that needs cooperation between the two. Although, I'd really love to see 
Mandrake fix it in the mean time (again, just like Menu does until the day 
when KDE and GNOME can agree on a single menu location and layout).

  If you'd switch the status to won't fix, I'd appreciate it. That way in the 
future it might be caught for review when you or someone else is trying to 
think of the next big thing to improve MDK. :-)

  True. :-\

 I hope it is.
