Yes.

Which strikes me as extremely odd since even under KDE
GNUmed uses wxPython which in turn uses wxWidgets which uses
wxGTK (rather than Qt) !  And then the themeing engine even
is a glue-type thing allowing use of Gnome themes on KDE ...

If anything I'd expect issues on *that* rather than on Gnome
proper ...

I'm sure there's themes that work just fine.
