We'd need to rebuild the application, not the libs, which is not possible.

The only reliable libs are the ones the application has been linked against.
Moreover, I don't see any interest replacing them with other binary builds.

You're dreaming. 'linux support' for proprietary software editor means 'intel
32bit binary', and tomorrow it will probably be 'here is the ubuntu package'.

That's a documentation issue, not a packaging issue. Feel free to add
documentation on mandriva wiki to explain how to support GTK themes under QT,
but I won't make any spec file more complex just for this kind of eye-candy
prupose.

So, that's just a issue when subtituting original libs, right ?
