I agree.

I also don't see where is the problem in having two different interfaces
to the package manager. That's the whole point in my opinion. GNOME and
KDE are different environments with different philosophies and different
users. So having a perfect GTK clone of the YaST-qt tools is not the
point: a theme would have been enough for that.
