RedHat's "Unification" is/was a common theme and icon set that was applied
to both KDE and GNOME called Bluecurve.  Visually they appear similar;
however, both KDE and Gnome are availible in RedHat 8 and 9 and are still
able to be themed differently if one chooses.  YDL-3.0 uses the same
bluecurve-esqe theming style and engine, I think.

Redhat caught heat for Bluecurve because its treatment of KDE was sloppy 
and (IIRC) broke some KDE stuff, owing to the fact that they don't have 
any KDE programmers in their employ anymore.  From what I gather, most 
KDE Users install liquid anyway, so I think the fuss was just that, a 
fuss ;)  

FWIW, I like Bluecurve for the most part, and have always prefered GNOME
to KDE - Though the Irix widgets in KDE make me happy.. wish GNOME had
them :)
