Wait for Qt 4.5. It will include a new theme engine developed by Trolltech, QGtkStyle, which does exactly that. From what I've seen of it (you can get it to run on Qt 4.4 and, with some work, even Qt 4.3), it is extremely well-done, and not unstable like the GTK equivalent. The Trolltech guys care a lot about improving their toolkit and jumped through all the hoops needed. (Notably, GTK's rather lacking drawing API, which requires all 3rd-party programs, including Firefox, OpenOffice, and Qt, to do this silly two-pass rendering thing to draw on a transparent background.)
