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

I just installed fresh Rawhide on a new computer yesterday, and I
noticed that under the default configuration, GTK apps look fairly
ugly, with grey blocky buttons and UI components and so on. If I
install gtk-qt-engine, it initially has an empty space as the selected
theme; if I then choose "Clearlooks" as the GTK theme and restart KDE,
things look much nicer than whatever default thing was there before.

Is it possible to do something in this direction by default? Much as I
like KDE, I really can't avoid using Eclipse pretty much every day at
work, and it would be nice if it looked good by default.
