I would certainly appreciate a platform where an application written with the same toolkit
(gtk+) will blend without using a zillion custom widgets. Isn't that what theme-engines
and GObject are supposed to accomplish?
I can see that a gui like gnumeric isn't going to 'blend in' easily, but apps like reversi
should.
