[SOLVED] How can you find out what executables a package installs?

Im using xmonad as a window manager and Im trying to configure the appearance of GTK windows (currently buttons text and images in GTK windows are HUGE). Ive successfully installed kde-gtk-config using

sudo pacman -S kde-gtk-config

but now running

kde-gtk-config

doesnt do anything. I assume this is because the executable associated with kde-gtk-config has a different name but how can I find out what it is?

I found out about kde-gtk-config here but the instructions for running it (System Settings > Application Appearance > GTK) seem to assume you have some kind of desktop manager installed.

Generally, the executable files for a package will be located in /usr/bin. Package files can be listed with pacman -Ql pkgname. So

pacman -Ql kde-gtk-config | grep /usr/bin

should give you what you're after.

kde-gtk-config is not a standalone application, is a module for Plasma system settings. Unless you plan to install Plasma, you should look for another alternative.
