[clug-talk] KUbuntu 9.04 - Firefox integration?

[clug at matthew.mulrooney.ca]

Since we seem to have a few Kubuntu users here, I need to ask about 
FireFox:
* How do native widgets look under FF in Kubuntu 9.04?  [In Kubuntu
   8.10, all of the inputs stick out like a sore thumb...]
* Can anyone tell me how to run FF with GTK/Gnome widgets under Kubuntu
   8.10?

I'm glad to hear 9.04 is shaping up!  Can't wait! :)
