This isn't Windows, I expect a clean and consistent interface, no matter how much Qt tries to emulate GTK it still isn't using native GTK widgets, and it's still not following the GNOME HIG. This means stuff like my global menu don't work, and they don't obey my GNOME toolbar settings. So yes, it is sacralege.

That's why i allways longered for a qt3b ;) My pinion is that qt apps are ok (they only require qt libs) but kde apps are not so ok becouse they need a lot more infrastructure (kdelibs artsd kio-slaves etc…).

If you're really care about the disk system footprint, you could simply ditch GNOME and use KDE instead... No more GTK+ dependency, and you can install Scribus, Amarok, Skype and so on with no extra package needed. If I remember correctly, I read a post recently about the disk space used by KDE4, GNOME and XFCE... KDE4 consumes less disk space than the other two. Can't remember the link though. But I wouldn't recommand the use of Kubuntu, as it is not the most polished KDE version I've seen. Needs more love, that's for sure.

I run pidgin and openoffice in Kubuntu. I don't have a venereal disease, mixing toolkits isn't sacrilege. What’s wrong with kde and having qt apps in gnome?
