That sounds very good.

It reminds me of the whole Ardour in Debian debacle of years ago.

Then again, Rosegarden is bundling a KDE theme now, so we don't look so crappy 
for your GNOME users with default environments.  It might be interesting to 
see how that goes when we release.  If we can stop finding bugs long enough 
to release that is.  Our next release will happen in August 2007.  Chortle.
