Widgets have nothing to do with the desktop you're running, so they'll
work fine.  GNOME widgets just require that you have the GNOME libraries
installed, is all.  KDE users might object to having to install those,
but then that's their own problem.  ;-)  Most Linux distros generally
come with both the KDE and GNOME libraries anyhow.
