There I agree.
Hi, Unless I'm much mistaken, the KDE HIG encourages application UIs to be designed in such a way that they don't look out of place on other platforms. Therefore the KDE theming bits shouldn't even need to exist on other platforms (unless you're one of those people who'd rather spend time making your "Windows XP look like KDE" over using your computer for actual work - and then blogging about said endeavour). Applications are supposed to use the platform's native style, icons, font settings etc. We don't want users on other platforms to open a KDE application and suddenly feel a jarring difference between that and their regular apps. We want all KDE apps to blend in. So I'm gonna have to agree with Martin here - the PlatformTheme bits should be moved over to Workspace, since that's where they belong. If other platforms don't provide a PlatformTheme plugin - I'm tempted to say "their problem, not ours", but we can at least help out if they stumble. Not to say Qt already provides generic fallbacks.
