Your Firefox (Iceweasel) looks really bad under KDE 4? Wicd and Gimp are ugly? Thunderbird (Icedove) borders, buttons and menu are broken?
Tweaking Gnome Apps to change theirs look & feel on KDE is simple. Follow three steps described below and repair almost all GTK applications appearance under new KDE.

    sudo aptitude install gtk-qt-engine-kde4 kwin-style-qtcurve kde-style-qtcurve gtk2-engines-qtcurve
  2. Configure KDE. Open: K menu->System settings->Appearance. Choose GTK styles and fonts tab, and select there:
