That's what Bluecurve is for. ;-)
Except I don't like bluecurve as much anymore (:
We'd love having a Nodoka theme available for KDE too, but we're
fairly busy already, so there isn't one yet. (We just didn't have the
time to work on one.) Thus Bluecurve (and Quarticurve for Qt 4) is
the best we can offer for a unified look.
I also disagree with the assertion that Plastik "looks like ass". ;-)
It just looks different (and that's the main problem we have to
solve, I think moving away from Bluecurve was a mistake).
The "look like ass" wasn't that Plastik looks bad, it just doesn't
match, therefor it makes the entire experience look like ass because
it's mismatched.

I agree our community (especially the upstream projects) needs to
work on not having to set up everything twice though. (But setting
the fonts the same way in both environments is possible, of course.)

That's because it uses a better one. ;-)
More seriously, there are solutions being worked on for the standard
dialog (especially file selector) issue at
freedesktop.org and
elsewhere, unfortunately nothing which got widespread adoption
yet. :-(
But surely having to write every single application twice, once with
each toolkit, is not the real solution!

PS: All this is not a reason not to offer K3b as an option on the
DVD. I'm not asking for it to be installed by default, just to be
there!
I'm not disagreeing with offering it on the DVD, in fact, I thought it
was due to comps settings. If it isn't set in comps, I'll add it to
the manifest so that it'll be there optionally.
