that's not what i was getting at. personally, i hate insults of fvwm95,
Qt's UI, and the like.. i'm pointing out that gtk's button drawing and
menu code could be used instead of icewm's built in toolkit. it would be a
more "standard" feel for the whole desktop. and no, i'm not putting down
the taskbar or even the little "Start"-like menu. if they were as
configurable as the gnome panel, they'd be excellent.
