I agree with you there, the best thing would be to have a client that is easy 
to use,
feature rich etc. and also only uses the system's icons. But realistically 
speaking for
Karmic such a client seems to be out of reach, no?
I don't see that GUI changes happening with Claws in the short run. Maybe it's 
a problem
of Claws having an established user-base and devs care more about what they 
like about
their software themselves rather than trying to get new users (and maybe 
pissing off a
few old ones). But I'll try to write more bug-reports and hope that brings 
about a slight
change in the direction that Claws is heading.

I thought both clients have notification-plugins that you could easily setup to 
send the
notification via "notify-send" so that they are in line with other 
notifications (hmm, or
am I missing the point here?)...

Thanks! (I fear I might need it :) )
