Just set them to the same thing. KDE is very flexible, it's possible to get it to match the GNOME configuration very closely.
So you are suggesting that everybody will set all settings twice, one time for Gnome and one time for KDE? This is exactly the problem with a Gnome and KDE mix, it is a PITA.
No, we're not talking about everyone setting all their settings twice. Just tweak the things you want for the apps you want. That's not going to be very much stuff. With KDE, once you've got that figured out, it's pretty easy to mass deploy such configuration changes, too, so you really will only *have* to do this once (unless you change your mind frequently :) ).
I still have to deal with two different "configuration" tools, that do about the same thing but a bit different. If i want to tune app K i need the KDE configuration tool, if i need to tune app G i need the gnome configuration tool. When kde apps and gnome apps look exactly like each other (which is an other problem, different look and feel) how do i know that i need kconfig when i want to tune app K? KDE and Gnome are two different things, even though they do almost the same thing. It is like using Honda parts to fix a Fort, a handy mechaninc might make it work, but it would be way easier to use Fort parts to fix a Fort.
