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.
