Is there a replacement for qt-gtk-engine in kde 4.1? [SOLVED]

Firefox looks like crap again because qt-gtk-engine doesn't work in kde 4.1

Look for qt-gtk-engine-svn in AUR. But Firefox still looks a bit of crap, but that's only the tabs.

On an another note. The Mozilla people have ported Firefox to QT4.4.

Cool. Wish I'd read that a few months ago...

Perhaps you can try using the GTK engine in QT4 instead. I find the qgtkstyle-svn works quite well for QT4, much more so than qt-gtk-engine did back when I used KDE3.

What I did may sound like overkill...

I installed gnome-control-center and set a theme and fonts for GTK apps. Then at startup I load gnome-settings-daemon to activate the configuration. Works great, and the settings daemon hardly eats any resources. You will lose some disk space for the gnome libs, but who cares
