I took a look at kde-gtk-config today. What we do at the moment is Copy /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/dot-gtkrc-2.0-kde4 to ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 on first login Also copy ~/.kde/env/gtk2-default-theme.rc.sh which exports GTK2_RC_FILES to point to ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 And run xsettings-kde (a mandriva creation I think) which exports the widget style over xatoms Use the system settings module kcm-gtk which sets ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and Felix has added a patch to notify xsettings-kde when the gtk theme has changed
Setting GTK2_RC_FILES seems redundant given xsettings-kde. xsettings-kde seems like a good way to not overwrite gtk settings for anyone swapping between desktops This keeps the gtk 2 and 3 settings in sync but that only works if you have the same theme installed for both, it doesn't let you use gtk 3 themes otherwise apol's new kde-gtk-config writes to .gtkrc-2.0 and adds a symlink from .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini doesn't have any update via xsettings so running apps don't update it's gtk 3 settings don't do anything while xsettings-kde is running So I'm unsure what to do. I think the best thing would be to have kde-gtk-config write the config in such a way that it doesn't overwrite settings for using other desktops.
