Description Tiago Freire 2006-01-30 02:27:28 UTC

I may spawn the furor of the desktop zealots, but I am all for integration between  the desktops environments. So I would like to see gnome featuring the 'kde' flag. It would instruct the ebuild to emerge x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt, which allows my gnome/gtk apps to use the same theme that my kde apps do. I like to have a consistent look-and-feel on the applications I use whenever possible.

I disagree. This package is in no way supported by gnome upstream or gentoo gnome herd and has no place in the gnome metabuild. It also doesn't even fit well under the kde useflag since it just deals with the qt toolkit.
