OK, so what you say is that you want KDE for Gnome (or something so). I like
the idea. Could this be done with Harmony as a GTK wrapper and using themes
in Harmony (to give KDE the Gnome aspect) and in Gtk (to give Gnome the KDE
aspect, I think Rasterman is working on these things). I can't do this
(because I don't know), it is only one idea to be coment, but please, not a
flame war because I think that Gnome, Harmony and KDE people have much more
important things to do.
