Gnome picks up the entire (or almost entire) KDE configuration tree of menus 
etc.  Desktop themes happens to be in the KDE menu system, so it gets pulled 
in.

Because they're distributed (invariably) with the KDE system, and they're 
written to integrate right into KDE cleanly.  If you start a KDE-specific 
app in Gnome via a terminal, you might see stuff about a DCOP server 
starting.  Afaik, that's part of the glue that drives the KDE system and its 
apps.

Netscape would be an example of a non-desktop-manager-specific app.  It has 
no hooks to either Gnome or KDE.
