It's my understanding that the code in WebKit is the exactly same code that's in Gecko to display native widgets so we're both suffering from that problem.

Some cross-platform applications still advertise a 'Linux theme' but I'm hoping developers will move beyond that and start to use native style APIs provided by the toolkit, whether it's GTK+, Qt or something else. WebKit and Gecko have both done this in the last few months so it isn't such a hot topic as it was before.
