No, it's not the colors and titlebar decorations that I'm talking about 
- those change - it's the internal controls (buttons, fields, menus, 
etc.). I've been working on RevZilla 2.1 (which is almost ready to be 
released, btw), and Mark and I were testing it under Kubuntu. Here's a 
page that shows the difference between his system and mine - perhaps 
you can answer why mine looks Motif and his doesn't?
