AFAIC, unless the maintainer of an app in KDE's CVS has a very, very good 
reason for violating the style guide they do not have that lattitude. esp 
when it comes to identity and consistency in L&F.

so perhaps the art people could go through and disqualify any 
non-CIG-following entrants and then provide recommendations with the app 
maintainers having final say...

then again ........ i really am queasy with the idea of each application 
having it's own say in L&F issues. L&F is a holistic issue as opposed to a 
per-app issue (ergo the icon themes), and there are tangible benefits to it 
being respected as such. i'd sooner see the artists take maintainership over 
ALL art in KDE than have each app maintainer do so. they are experts in this 
area and have a better position to deliver consistency and quality than 
probably any app maintainer in KDE does.

if the artists are cool with that idea, i'd be happy to propose exactly that 
on kde-core-devel to see what developer buy-in would be like.
