For me the curved version make it approsimative, it looks like a sketch 
IMHO, I would really prefer to see the straight K+gear.
A compromise should be making the straight corners a little more rounded 
but keeping lines straight, I feel it will look more professional.

that's right, especially for the plain logo, but for screen

is needed.

... this will apply to icons too? are you planning to repaint all 
crystal/kde icons with the new palette?
did you noticed I posted a nuvola palette for illustrator here 
http://www.icon-king.com/index.php?p=26 , anyway it contains all those 
XPish colours that you're going to remove.
