  Exactly, Jens!
  That would be absolutely great if GTK supported multiple looks!
  I guess this feature could make GTK even more popular, because
people could switch to any look they prefer. The GUI-look diversity
could be reduced in this way, and the GTK applications would have the
same coherent appearence.
  I think we should move into a direction similar to what's done in
the Mac (anyone with mode knowledge of how this is accomplished?):

  Just dream of... =)
  Of course, the window/desktop manager would need to be GtkStyle
compliant to get the same look in the desktop. I guess the GNOME dudes
are working in this part.
