He was asked to move the *testing* style to kdenonbeta as it's for
*testing* purposes only. The rest should stick where it was. About HPL,
we agreed that we may run into legal trouble with Apple and to avoid
that we suggested changing it a bit so it's not *that* obvious to see
the similarity to the Aqua style plus, when it *works without bugs* to
put it into kdeartwork or addons.

That's a whole bunch of differences in the sense that it comes down to,
the decorations and styles are needed *still* to not break the "User
compatibility".
