This is to announce my intentions to orphan (and hopefully eol) gtk-qt-
engine in fedora.
For F-12+, my plan is to allow the new kcm-gtk package to Obsoletes it. It
will provide a systemsettings/kcm module to configure gtk theming, but
without the problematic "Qt" gtk engine. See also:

When will it be available, even as a testing rpm? I
looked in koji and it is not there and yum knows nothing
about it.
pending cvsadmin processing, will get it imported and built properly, asap.
In the meantime, there's a scratch build: (from the review):

After a few hours of testing, I see that the font
selection works well, but the widget style does not work.
I know this is a new program and this is the very first
step.
Works for me (though you'll have to uninstall gtk-qt-engine first, if that's
in stalled, it will override things set here).
Alternatively, manually remove ~/.kde/env/gtk-qt-engine.sh and logout/login

Works for me
Oh, and make sure to have at least gtk2-2.18.3-9.fc12 (if on f12/rawhide)

I should add that, for the first time ever, the slider
bars work! They don't flicker and disappear and reappear.
This is looking very good. Colours are a minor touch,
icing on the cake.
By the way, colours on old kde3 apps doesn't work,
either, despite enabling for non-kde4 applications in
system settings (kftpgrabber) - I can see it already:
file a bug report :-)

There's already an ages-old bug report, the upstream KDE developers don't
care. :-( You have to set up the colors separately for KDE 3 apps, using
"kcmshell colors" (but it's a PITA as it doesn't support KDE 4 color
schemes). I might try to fix this somehow.

...or maybe the upstream developers don't know how to fix it. Help welcomed.
(Actually, it's more accurate to say that I am not aware of anyone
maintaining the 'export colors' functionality. Jeremy Whiting and I are
- last I knew, anyway :-) - the nominal maintainers for color kcm stuff,
and I certainly fix anything I can, but I know next to nothing about how
the export colors stuff works. Ergo, I am not able to fix it.)
FTR, exporting colors to GTK seems flaky also, but I'm not sure it's a
KDE problem. I've noticed that after I force the export code to run
(basically, make any change and apply it - even toggle a checkbox twice,
you just need to be able to press 'apply'), the first app will be right,
but the next one gets default colors. At least for Mozilla apps (FF, TB)
and IIRC gitk. OTOH, Inkscape seems okay.
I might try to fix this somehow.
If you are able to help, that would be /much/ appreciated. Please don't
hesitate to work upstream, I would very much like to see these issues
resolved.

I uninstalled gtk-qt-engine first, but the script was
still there. Gone now.
I have gtk2-2.18.3-8.fc12.x86_64, which is the most
recent to be released for rawhide. I guess 2.18.3-9 is on
koji? I will try without first, hoping that the manual
removal of the gtk-qt script did it.
