Yes, as far as I know, it is (though I myself do have GNOME installed). |

|
| 14 |
Firefox depends on gtk: |

clarity, since even the bin has to be originally compiled by someone): |

Firefox is a GTK application, so it uses the GTK toolkit (as opposed to |
| 50 |
the QT toolkit, which KDE uses). |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
GNOME is a GTK-based DE (as opposed to KDE which is QT-based). |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
So the reason why the open/save dialogs are the same is because they use |
| 55 |
the same resources (GTK settings, many of which can be set in GNOME). |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I can't say if the "extra features" that I have because I have GNOME |
| 58 |
installed are present in your open/save dialog (bookmarked folders, for |
| 59 |
example). |

Masking or unmasking is not going to change the source code, which |
| 66 |
depends on GTK. Only upstream can recode the program with a different |
| 67 |
toolkit. And that seems unlikely to happen, since it hasn't happened yet |
| 68 |
(and if the toolset was going to change, it probably would have before |
| 69 |
1.0, not suddenly now when the release is finally stable enough to be |
| 70 |
picking up steam fast in the popularity stakes). |
