Especially system services will often need more integration. Though
gnome-packagekit in particular doesn't use that much of GNOME. On the
other hand, KPackageKit uses quite some KDE stuff: it has a kded4
service and integrates with systemsettings.
There are also separate HIGs for KDE and GNOME.
Totally, and GConf vs. Kconf (or whatever it's called now). The fact
that there are seporate frontends is a really good thing. There's also
an EFL frontend written for a mobile phone. Writing a frontend is pretty
easy as all the logic is in the backend. A simple wxWidgets frontend is
a couple of days work.
