Let's not let this discussion deteriorate into a GNOME/KDE flame war;)

Can we be sure that the behaviour you see on current KDE is the
*correct* one? Isn't it more likely that as you use KDE, you tweak
your code to call GTK+ functions in such a way that makes it behave
correctly in current KDE. Another person, developing on GNOME, might
come up with a slightly different way to use the GTK+ API, that makes
the program behave correctly on his window manager. How can one know
for sure which one is correct?

Indeed.
