Please elaborate on that statement. It seems that GTK+ is the language that the application is written in, and it is up to the desktop environment to make that application fit in to the rest of the desktop. In fact, that is exactly why KDE was founded: to provide a common look and integration with the existing applications.

Expecting _every_application_ to implement every desktop's tools is ludicrous. Rather, it is up to the desktop to provide integration with the limited number of common toolkits, such as Qt and GTK.
