    That doesn't make sense. A GTK application does not "run under KDE,"
    and the vice-versa also does not occur

    - A GTK+ application is an X client that uses GTK libraries.

    - A KDE application is an X client that uses KDE libraries.

    They can _coexist_, along with the numerous applications that use
    other sets of widget libraries, because they are all just X clients.

    In order for them NOT to be able to coexist, they would have to be
    REALLY strange sorts of crapplications.
