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;

#!/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.
