Re: KDE switches to GNOME ??!?

Mozilla is totally independent from Gnome.
Mozilla (and Netscape) don't use GTK, they use their own APIs.
Gnome is using Bugzilla for submiting bugs, so what?!

Actually not sure about that... when I to try start the Mozilla 1.1 binary in a fresh environment without GTK, it complains about the GTK library not being present..

You can compile mozilla to use QT instead of GTK, one of the big advantages of having an abstract toolkit.

If you're interested, here are the recommended configure options for Qt Mozilla:

--without-gtk
--with-qt
--enable-toolkit=qt
--disable-tests (required because Qt Mozilla does not include some extra
widgets used by the tests, but not Mozilla itself)

You can also use:
--with-qtdir=<path_to_QTDIR>
otherwise $QTDIR is used.

Mozilla is competely independent from any graphical toolkits. On X11, it can use xaw, gtk, qt, as a backend. It just happens that you are using a binary compiled with gtk (which is standard on X11). It's not really a gtk app, however. It doesn't even use gtk's event loop. It does use gdk for drawing.
