 I mean KDE. I've noticed no change of kde theme or icon sets since
 FC3, but gnome did have clearlooks and so on.
 
 Well, I think for alternatives we can have alook at what we have in FE
 already:
 tango-icon-theme
 kdeartwork-icons
 crystal

 Suggest this as a RFE early soon after FC6 is released.  I believe there
 is a extras hand-off planned too. So there would be developer momentum
 to do things that improve the KDE experience in Fedora. Jump on that
 bandwagon and you should be able to get more things done.

You betcha! (:

Personally, I'm of the mind to go KISS (keep it simple, stupid) and
recommend going with kde default crystal(icon)/plastik(widgets).

It depends simple for whom ?
I don't think our KDE is Simple with :
- long Kmenu (2 menus which basically say the same thing, (e.g
Administration and Settings)
- software confusion, 2 or more software which do the same thing (e.g
kwrite, kate, kedit)

Definitely, a newbie who wants to use KDE with fedora will have to
spend more time to understand what is what in fedora's KDE.

As an ambassador in Strasbourg, I've seen many former Mandriva users
(kde), migrating to KUbuntu. If you say KUbuntu(with the default
theme) is simple, I might agree.

It's hard, as an ambassador to convince people that you might use KDE
with fedora.
A screenshot of fedora's Kmenu is enough to frighten any newbie.

The question which must be taken into consideration is:
Vista is coming out soon, Ubuntu(and KUbuntu) is making thing more
simple with XGL. Fedora with KDE, how will it look like with aiglx ?
