Bug Description

Binary package hint: mnemosyne

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure kdelibs is not installed (it is not installed in the default Ubuntu install).
2. Install mnemosyne.

Result:
Mnemosyne looks absolutely terrible. kdelibs should probably be a "recommends" dependency of mnemosyne. I understand why this could be problematic (asking people to download 20mb of libraries to run a flash card program), but it borders on unusable without them. Additionally, there is no indication given as to *why* mnemosyne looks terrible--nothing to let the user know "oh, if I go install kdelibs, everything will be nicer".
