The differences are minimal. A KDE theme will apply to the WM managing a
GTK/Gnome application for example with minimal 'confusion' for the average
user. It is about as confusing as seeing WinAMP skins under Windows or
XMMS skins under Linux/BSD (Windows manager/environment of your
choice).

AbiWord and Gnumenric fit in quite happily with a KDE desktop and so on.
The menus look slightly different.
