But normal users do not care about multiple desktops. They don't care 
that there is a GNOME, KDE, XFCE, IceWM, Blackbox, WhateverWM, they just 
want to use their apps and get work done. A unified look & feel improves 
usability. If you don't want the two desktops to look the same, nobody's 
preventing you to install different icon themes. Normal users on the 
user hand don't even care that there are other icon themes.

For years, people have complained about GNOME and KDE apps looking 
different. When RedHat came with Bluecurve, people flamed for a month 
and then everybody went back to complaining how GNOME and KDE look 
different.
