YES!  I like that, a _lot_.

I'll reiterate my opinion on this one.  We're our own extension of
GNOME.  GO does not require GNOME as we're cross platform.  I do not
think we should enforce a complete part-of-GNOME appearance.  We're not
part of GNOME.  There's a difference between affiliation and inclusion.

Your average office-application user doesn't know what KDE is.  This
doesn't bother me at all, and I personally don't think it looks KDEish
at all.  In fact, I can show you where I got the idea from:

Thanks for the link.  I'll have a more thorough look tomorrow. :)

NP.  No where nearly enough work as Dom or Jody or Rodrigo or
many-other-developers have put into GO.  I'm just glad that I can
contribute in this manner. ;)
