> Hate to break it to you, but running a GTK2 app under KDE/KWin will still look inconsistent. Certainly, but at least I can be sure that the inter-application[1] inconsistency in terms of overall window behavior/L&F is minimized (as far as practical) if the decorations are server-side. ... and that's a real win, at least from my perspective. Others may place a higher value on the intra-application consistency of client-side decorations. Obviously, if, say, you're using KWin, but only GTK/Gnome apps you're probably going to prefer this option. Thankfully, it seems that KWin[2] is going to allow both and is going to try to standardize a wayland protocol, so that users can choose what they want. Hopefully most Wayland clients will eventually respect this protocol -- we'll see. EDIT: I should also just give a shout out to Mr. Gräßlin. He's been an incredible boon to KDE. (No affiliation, don't know him personally -- just a fan. Hopefully he'll read this!) [1] For applications using different toolkits, obviously. Otherwise it doesn't really matter much except for misbehaving-application cases.
