Get some coders together and make the Qt equivilent of gtk-qtcurve.

In fact, qtcurve is a Qt initiative not GTK's

God please don't unify...

Hmm, maybe the theme could be blue. And you could put lots of curves in it...

I agree on this. Adding qt4 to the mix, now makes me go through at least 3 setting managers, of which I can't be sure which does which. On the desktop, users shouldn't be forced to find out if they use version X of toolkit Y.
Usability, anyone?

I'm thinking of a tool that links together KDE/QT3/4 and GTK styles that are similar. You run the tool, it sees that you use GDM, assumes Gnome, lets you set up all QT/KDE apps to look similar, and using the same fonts.
Expand the tool, call it DE-integrator, and commonly handle fonts, themes, i/o, notifications, etc.

Voted yes.

Themes should not try to turn Gnome/GTK into KDE/Qt or vice-versa, but there should be a basic complimenting between Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

* English:
My vote are -1 because if you done this, then lose the sense of choice in Linux, one of the things that makes it attractive to the operating system is the freedom to choose.

* Spanish:
Voto -1 porque si se unifican se pierde el sentido de la elección en linux, una de las cosas que hace atractivo al sistema operativo es la LIBERTAD de escoger.

You're kidding? This is about having complementary themes in KDE and Gnome, not making Kubuntu look like Ubuntu (or vice versa).
That way, when you're using Amarok in Gnome, it looks like the other Gnome apps.

This is about more choice, not less.
