I second that, i consider that a very good guideline for how likely a package is going to integrate well with a particular DE. It also allows me to quickly determine that some package will have a major cascading dependency tree that i may or may not have installed. I also frequently will do a search for say "kde mail client" or such like and having kde/gtk/whatever in the description helps greatly on this. Tom
