Unfortunately the converse is not true for Gtk+ applications running on KDE.
I installed the Git version. It actually works and KDE Oxygen and Color settings are obeyed. Most Gtk+ apps look like Qt ones. Here's a screenshot of Gimp:
Of course, the Gtk/Gnome devs couldn't be arsed to do this themselves... Shows how much they care :P

Sometimes, less is more.

This is not GTK+ apps rendering using Qt, but just another case of one Qt-theme and one GTK+-theme looking consistent with each other, similarly to the existing qtcurve (though admittedly looking a lot better than qtcurve).

And of course there are significant technical advantages. For instance, the lack of out-of-bounds bugs that plague C/C++ libraries. Have you ever checked the security upgrades in your package manager?

Nice to read.
As a user of different programs I always have both the GTK and Qt stuff (plus sometimes other older toolkits) on my Gentoo. Takes time to compile though.
But I also welcome that Canonical is opening up to Qt and especially installing a developer (giving back to the community, wasn't there an issue with Canonical?) and enhancing compatibility/visual comp. between these popular libs.

The new gtk theme looks awesome indeed.
