KDE users rejoice! For I, have found a way to make GTK (GNOME) apps on KDE look prettier. Alright, Mr.Google here helped me a bit.. but still..
There’s this neat app called gtk-qt-engine that applies KDE fonts and styles to GTK apps when run within KDE. Sweet! Been looking for something like this ever since I installed Etch almost a year back. GNOME apps used to look just plain horrible inside KDE. Particularly the fonts.. Not anymore!
Package Details:
The GTK-Qt Theme Engine (also known as gtk-qt-engine) is a GTK 2 theme engine that calls Qt to do the actual drawing. This makes your GTK 2 applications look almost like real Qt applications and gives you a more unified desktop experience.
Please note that this package is targeted at KDE users and therefore provides a way to configure it from within KControl.
Installation:
# aptitude install gtk-qt-engine
After installing, there’ll be a new entry inside “Appearances and Themes” inside KDE Control Center. Apply the styles, log out and log back in. GTK apps should look great now..!

It does not work with kde 3 and qt 3. For those (and also for applying QGtkStyle) you just need to try out my script:
