    Sometimes I just havt'a wonder, I'm an idiot! I sux! ;) 
Anyhow a lightbulb finally went off.... you didn't try gtk-qt-engine 
as root. A definite PEBKAC.  So,

# yum install gtk-qt-engine  (a FC extras package)
# kcontrol

    Now, "GTK Styles an Fonts" didn't segfault kcontrol, an I was 
able to properly configure everything but dpi. Logout/in an nothin 
is fixed.  Another lightbulb, yeah but you only changed settings 
for root user. So I ran kcontrol as user, this time choosin "GTK 
Styles an Fonts" didn't sig11, an I was able to configure gtk apps 
to use qt settings. Logout/in an Voila!! - FIXED! 

     Thanks Joel ;)
