Neither Firefox nor Openoffice.org are really GTK apps. That kinda invalidates your argument quite a bit.

Care to elaborate on gui tool-kits used for LibreOffice and Firefox?

Sure. Libreoffice uses VCL, or Visual Components Library with native desktop integration and has both GTK and Qt frontends. Firefox uses XUL with GTK integration. Neither are pure GTK apps and have occasional regressions on look and feel that doesn't match the rest of the GTK apps as a result.
