>Description:
The GTK-Qt engine from ports has a HUGE problem. It configures the kcmgtk.cpp file to change its search paths. However -- this has ramifications -- my copy of GTK-Qt could not find any themes. My suggestion is to remove the pre-configure section from the ports Makefile for x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine as specified in the patch. The new version of GTK-Qt already does the searching in a way that doesn't have to be configured.
>How-To-Repeat:
Utter 'make all install clean' in the ports/x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine folder and attempt to use the GTK Styles and Fonts control panel in KDE. You will get a nice little warning "The Gtk-Qt theme engine is not installed." -- this is due to the extra appendages to the search paths within kcmgtk.cpp, hence the "pre-configure" section of the Makefile which appends this extra path.
>Fix:
Remove the "pre-configure:" section (the entire section, but not the post-configure section) from the x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine Makefile. This was sufficient to get me working again :)
