NO, actually the reason you do not need to configure your proxy server
in 7 different Gnome applications. Now you just do it in
gnome-control-center (or gnome-network-preferences).

I thought you were talking about stability. Sure, it would be great if
Galeon would follow the gnome theme in terms of icons, but 1.2.x did not
(even worse, *yet* another app to configure to get a consistent desktop).

And what would that mean for Mozilla? No Xft?

But there is another issue. Is it not possible to have the GNOME Control
Center available in the menus in KDE (or other places)? What if I want
to adjust the fonts I see in Mandrake Control Center? I have to either
run gnome-font-properties from the command line (or similar) or log into
GNOME.

(Of course, it would be better if both KDE and GNOME could optionally
set each others default fonts, icons, themes etc so this would not be
necessary).
