Really? Why not? The GIMP is confusing, since people have to choose between KDE and GNOME. Think about it man! Why pick the GIMP while KDE and GNOME are both in use? This confuses the user. You have to admit that GTK is the base of GNOME, not the other way around. So logically, the GIMP and KDE are both derivatives, in a sense that GNOME is not.
It follows that GTK, GNOME and KDE, are rooted in the same way. This is why it is inherently unwise and insecure to have both together. The problem is one of how each is rooted. This should be clear to anybody with any experience using both. So think about it and stick with either but not any other one. You may have been lucky so far, but everyones luck runs out. The main, but simple technique of rooting the too could get to you, and your data. Then of course there is the issue of derivation. This could be a problem vis a vis QT and the GPL.
