    GNOME Applications Look Ugly in KDE 10.04

    I installed KDE desktop in Ubuntu 10.04 now all GTK apps look ugly when I log into KDE.
    I tried installing gtk-qt-engine-kde4, but I get this:
    pritesh@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gtk-qt-engine-kde4
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Couldn't find package gtk-qt-engine-kde4


    WHat should I do?

    gtk-qt-engine is now replaced by kmc-gtk, which doesn't work anyway, at least for me.

    kcm-gtk.

    You'll also need to make sure the .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 file it creates is properly exported. It should be saved as soon as you apply settings in the GTK+ Appearance section. The file exporting it may or may not do this if you don't have kubuntu-default-settings installed.

    Saved as ~/.kde/env/gtk2-engines-qtcurve.rc.sh;
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Make sure our customised gtkrc file is loaded.
    export GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4
    ...

    Installing kubuntu-default-settings worked like a charm. Thanx Zorael.

    Not meaning to butt in or anything, but there's another solution for a slightly better integration of Gnome apps in KDE: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=103741

    It works with KDE SC 4.4 and it comes in two flavours: standard and flat (without the gradient)

    You'll find the installation instructions in the download package.
