I'm guessing most people here use a kde desktop and may not know much 
about the gnome side.  That's certainly the case here.  Maybe on the 
gnome list you'll find an answer?  Or perhaps try your distro user lists?

(FWIW I personally get very frustrated even thinking about gnome, given 
their "the users are too dumb to know what's best for them, so we can't 
expose the config options or they might actually use them", philosophy, 
leading to castrated configs with less options in some cases than even MS 
servantware has!  Somehow, I thus don't find it particularly surprising 
to see someone post that they make it hard to configure kde apps to use a 
real kde theme, instead of a gtk-look-alike.  But on the bright side, I'm 
VERY glad there's a project for devs that think like that, as giving them 
their own project keeps them farther away from my VERY customized kde 
desktop!  So to each his own, just keep them away from anything I use, 
and me away from their desktop, and things will be fine!)
