The sentiment among the GTK+ team about cross-toolkit engine approaches
to theme integration has been nicely summed up by Owen, some time ago
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-March/msg00167.html)

  Really, all this Qt-theme-for-GTK+ GTK+-theme-for-Qt stuff is just a
  horrendously bad idea. A vale of tears. What needs to be done is to
  write a toolkit-independent theme engine system, hopefully less baroque,
  strange, and broken then what we ended up for GTK+, and write themes
  for that.

Maybe the latest qt-gtkstyle stuff is better, I don't know, I haven't
looked at the code.
