By your definitions, it's impossible, current state of the art or no.
It seems that as far as you're concerned, if the application is using
GTK, it's a Gnome app, and if it's using QT, it's a KDE app.

So for a distribution to be DE-neutral, they'd have to write all their
GUI tools using... what?  wxWidgets?  FLTK?  Motif?
