True, but isn't it a bit inconsistent from user's point of view?
This could result in dialogs looking completely out of place on
her desktop. I am sure it would be taken and reported as a bug.
I agree that it has a technical explanation, but does this explanation
make sense from a user's perspective? So now a user has to make sure
that root's style preferences match that of hers?
