Note that also, to my knowledge, the upcoming Mozilla widgets try to use
the gtk+ theme colors, font size, etc.  So the interoperability is
improving even for XUL/non-native Moz widgets.  I don't know if you see
this in 1.2b yet, but it's in the works anyhow.  Accessibility has been
one strong motivator for this but I think we will see improved interop
overall as a result.  Feel free to file bugs against Moz about this (but
well-contained ones about specific widget theme problems, no "Moz should
use gtk+ widget" flames please :-) ]
