Before anyone creates a bug that we should use gtk or kde for buttons, print
dialogs and the like: Not really possible because windows apps can query
elements from the print dialogs, change it(e.g. draw their own stuff on it,
change button layouts, etc). It's not really possible to give the app a gdi32
handle for a button on a KDE print dialog. Similar things apply to plain
controls. In fact, a long long time ago Wine used TCL/TK for common controls,
and hit a roadblock with that soon. Hence the use of plain Xlib and our own
controls.

Of course work on theming and a theming bridge from the current desktop's theme
to a windows theme is always welcome.
