I already installed the gtk-qt4-engine, but it has some serious bugs. Scroll
bars are not painted, tab borders are painted at the wrong position, etc.
Could this be because I modified some of KDEs appearance options?
Are there any other integration tweaks, like icons, keyboard shortcuts, file
chooser dialog, ... ?
