And that is a shame. I realize it will never be "easy", but I expect it
could be made quite a bit more palatable if people (no, I don't have
time to be "people" at this time) put some effort into it. I realize
that to some extent this is happening, but this one issue alone would
make all the other questions asked initially moot. Suddenly I can have
Gimp and KOffice running "native" at the same time. Sure, they both work
fairly well under X, but there is so much more potential.

Are there any apps which have both Qt and GTK+ front ends? Mozilla is
close, though the GTK+ FE is much further along.
