Well, Gambas itself is not related to any toolkit: is the gb.qt
component which provides QT support, gb.gtk which provides GTK+
support, etc. The main problem at this moment is that gb.gtk needs a
lot of work, and in fact the IDE can not run at this moment using
gb.gtk, this should be possible in the future. So the short answer is
that, at this moment KDE/QT integration is better than the GTK+/Gnome
one, this could change in the future to have the same support in both
environments.

I don't know very much about Ubuntu, but I suppose the live distro
does not configure the printer correctly...
