Do these programs look right in WMs other than those they're written for? Netscape 4 uses Lesstif (or something like that) and looks hideous under any other WM. Specifically, they use their own scrollbars and things. StarOffice and Kylix also use widgets that look alarmingly like the ones in Windoze, whick I find frankly appalling. This is not just because said widgets are ugly per se, but because they're inconsistent with the rest of the environment.
