> Is there such an option for GTK and/or other toolkits? 

How is that relevant if KDE already has a sync service that apparently does
what I'm suggesting? I have no idea what parameter GTk (or Gnome) uses for this
particular setting but I can guess that it's the same one KDE is currently
setting without the expected effect in Qt-based applications.

As far as I can oversee at this point, all that seems to be needed is to define
an additional parameter that defines the behaviour for KDE/Qt applications;
this would be the parameter controlled by the KCM. The KDE platform plugin
would translate this to the actual parameter used in Qt's internals. That's
assuming it gets the chance to do that early enough, of course, but I suppose
there must also be a programmatic way to change these settings directly instead
of via env. variables.
The KCM can predefine certain mappings from Qt locale definitions to glib ones
but since it's probably impossible to foresee every single combination users
might require the KCM could provide an optional second locale configuration
widget or screen for GTk/Gnome apps.

The only drawback would be that this mechanism doesn't work when running KDE
apps under a non-KDE desktop session. It could, if the user sets
KDE_FULL_SESSION and KDE_SESSION_VERSION himself, but barring that the proposed
mechanism shouldn't change anything for users who are in that situation.
