Note that this will make a very marginal difference in most cases.  
Unless there is an issue related to drag&drop, the clipboard, or window 
size/resizing/maximizing/moving, etc., this should make no difference 
whatsoever.  It's not impossible that it could be throwing off 
environment variables or something, but it is highly unlikely that this 
is a problem.

You can run GNOME apps within KDE and vice versa; it's a matter of 
having the appropriate libraries installed.  They might not obey all of 
the appearance conventions, but they should still work.
