Emacs could be compatible with the system it is currently running under as well. If running under Windows or KDE, it could use the behaviour used in Windows and KDE. Then emacs could blend into "alien" systems better. I think this is already the case for many things in the Windows Emacs port (e.g., the Emacs Windows port is consistent with how Windows work, not how GNOME works).
