Is there any way to make GTK apps look nicer by default under KDE?

It's a bit hard for me to test right now, but I think that the apps
thought they were using Clearlooks before, at least at some level -- I
got messages printed to stderr about some syntax issue in Clearlooks
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528662). Maybe that's
actually the issue, who knows ...

But the way that things look by default doesn't seem to be
Clearlooks's fault. In fact, what I did to make it look nicer was to
install gtk-qt-engine and explicitly choose Clearlooks from the
pulldown list (which started off with nothing selected).
