Re: Looking for a good scanner program for kde
xsane works for KDE also -- same little idiosyncracies, of course. That's what I use. There are a couple of others that may or may not run right on your setup -- Open Office's Draw package runs my Epson Perfection 1640SU, for example. Insert>Picture>Scan>Select Source.
EDIT: Ooops, forgot about skanlite.

Of course there is nothing wrong in using gtk (or gnome) software on kde or qt (or kde) on gnome when you prefer them over "native" applications.

Originally posted by GreygeekI recently did a scan of my Jaunty system to find out how many files are dependent on GTK2+.

There are some important apps that use the GTK2+ API, including FireFox, ThunderBird, Abiword, Audacity, avidemux, cheese, drgeo, firestarter, glade and many, many more.
To say one won't allow GTK2+ dependent applications on their installation is to eliminate from consideration a LOT of excellent software.Kubuntu 16.04 on two computers and Kubuntu 17.04 on DELL Latitude 13

Most of the best gtk programs can be installed without installing any gnome libraries (libgnome*). So you can definitely run kubuntu without "gnome stuff" (although there's usually no reason to), even if you use some gtk programs.
