Yes, as far as I know, it is (though I myself do have GNOME installed). Firefox depends on gtk: (from www.gentoo-portage.com ; the compile-it-yourself version used for clarity, since even the bin has to be originally compiled by someone): Runtime Dependencies mozilla-firefox-1.5-r9 | app-arch/unzip | app-arch/zip | dev-libs/expat | >= dev-libs/glib - 2.8.2 | >= dev-libs/libIDL - 0.8.0 | >= media-libs/jpeg - 6b | >= media-libs/libmng - 1.0.0 | >= media-libs/libpng - 1.2.1 | >= sys-libs/zlib - 1.1.4 | >= www-client/mozilla-launcher - 1.42 | >= www-client/mozilla-launcher - 1.39 | ! x11-base/xorg-x11 - 6.7.0-r2 | >= x11-libs/cairo - 1.0.0 ==> >= x11-libs/gtk+ - 2.8.6 | x11-libs/libXmu | x11-libs/libXmu | x11-libs/libXrender | x11-libs/libXrender | x11-libs/libXt | x11-libs/libXt | >= x11-libs/pango - 1.10.1 | gnome >= gnome-base/gnome-vfs - 2.3.5 | virtual/x11 | virtual/x11 | java virtual/jre Firefox is a GTK application, so it uses the GTK toolkit (as opposed to the QT toolkit, which KDE uses). GNOME is a GTK-based DE (as opposed to KDE which is QT-based). So the reason why the open/save dialogs are the same is because they use the same resources (GTK settings, many of which can be set in GNOME). I can't say if the "extra features" that I have because I have GNOME installed are present in your open/save dialog (bookmarked folders, for example). > > Is there going to be a way of NOT making it the standard open/save > dialog when firefox 1.5 gets unmasked? Masking or unmasking is not going to change the source code, which depends on GTK. Only upstream can recode the program with a different toolkit. And that seems unlikely to happen, since it hasn't happened yet (and if the toolset was going to change, it probably would have before 1.0, not suddenly now when the release is finally stable enough to be picking up steam fast in the popularity stakes).
