Ultimate thing Desktop integration on 64bits.

I found the way to have a good look and feel under my favorite Desktop
environment (GNOME) on an x86_64 box. Because they are not installed by default
on a x86_64 system, 2 more i586 packages are needed for a good GNOME
integration:
- libgtk-engines2
- libcanberra-gtk0
- qt4-qtconfig

These two packages could be a requirement, or at least a suggestion. Or
perhaps, a googleearth-gnome-compat package could be created in order to add
these needed requirements and even do the necessary to start GoogleEarth with
GTK+ style.
For example, if we run a gnome or another GTK+ based desktop (like XFCE),
GoogleEarth is run with the "-style GTK+" option and with the "-style plastic"
(or nothing) for KDE.

There is no need of such an option if qtconfig is used to change the default
KDE style to GTK+, like I did. But that's probably not the best solution for
end users...

Extracted from xdg-open :
#--------------------------------------
# Checks for known desktop environments
# set variable DE to the desktop environments name, lowercase

detectDE()
{
    if [ x"$KDE_FULL_SESSION" = x"true" ]; then DE=kde;
    elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome;
    elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
DE=xfce;
    fi
}
