None. Under inheriting I mean an ability to configure look-and-feel rather
than to program it.

Is there much difference between KDE and GNOME left as they rush to embrace
MS Windows? BTW, I enjoyed OPEN LOOK mostly for its professional graphic
design.

Why should they look that way? Provided the library should specify
look-and-feel. I doubt that but anyway, what prevents anybody educated in
graphic design from designing it professionally? Programmers should keep
their hands off, and everything will be OK! (:-))
