Would it matter?
For both immediate user satisfaction and long-term Linux evangelism, yes.
Are many Linux developers aware that it matters?
Judging from the mish mash of software currently available, apparently not.
But your apps can help Linux look more professional by just using the
guidelines established by the window manger development teams. I have
links to those HIGs (and more) on my Resources page:
