Very true.  My preferred desktop is KDE.  However, I use Claws-Mail,
Pan, gFTP and GRAMPS, all "Gnome" applications.  Top get these packages
to run under KDE, some Gnome stuff may have to be installed, but not
the whole windowing system.

I believe there are some packages that won't run outside their
preferred environment, but I've yet to encounter one.  Mainly due to
lack of trying to find one, probably.   :-)
