This is quite true. Fortunately the Gtk+ folk are well underway with a
project to make it all more native looking. The latest released version
of Gtk+ 2.10.x has 'experimental' support for running on OSX without
using X11. The next step (apart from general bug fixing) is to use the
right native theme.

So yes, at the moment it doesn't look native on OSX but hopefully in the
future it will. You can read more about that here:
