Well I don't have much more to say as your solution works very fine.
The only thing I want to add is that there still might be some applications,
such as ibus on my Karmic 9.10, that refuse work with gtk2-engines-qtcurve or
gtk-qt-engine. In this case you can try cp .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 .gtkrc-2.0 in
This bugs still is present on Jaunty. The #16 fix using 'kdesudo
systemsettings' didn't resolved my problem since I have no 'GTK
Appearance' on KDE SystemSettings.
Waht really worked is:
$ sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 /root/.gtkrc-2.0
Please dev team, resolve this unfortunate bug!

This problem still exists in Karmic Kubuntu, even though gtk-qt-engine is now
replaced by kcm-gtk. The workaround is still the same.
First you need to configure theme separately for root/sudo by starting system
settings with command:
kdesudo systemsettings
The file .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 will be
I solved this by simply copying ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 to /root/.gtkrc-2.0
I think that that is a neat solution.

The bug is still present in kubuntu 8.10 (kde 4.1.4).
Symlinking files from user's home to root doesn't seem safe to me.
Maybe as a temporary workaround knowing which files define the style of
applications (both qt and gtk) may be useful to copy them from the user home to
root one.
In any way
Here I resolved this problem symlinking ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde to
/root/.gtkrc-2.0
Code:
sudo ln -s ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde /root/.gtkrc-2.0

Would like to say that I have the same problem, hardy, upgraded from
feisty, kde3. I did install kde4 for the kicks of it, but reverted to
kde3.

It appears that explicitly setting the variable
# export GTK2_RC_FILES=/root/.gtkrc-2.0-kde:/root/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0
is enough to make the problem disappear (on my system) for synaptic and
wireshark.
If this variable is unset, Synaptic looks ugly. I think that's a bug
as I'd expect
Well that only works when I use sux. With sudo (-H or not) it gives
still the same ugly synaptic. Maybe it has to do with my whole root
directory. So someone can tell me how to reset this directory, I like to
try it again.

It is not acceptable that when starting a GTK-application under KDE as
root, the appearance is very ugly. Remember that although you can set
a GTK or Gnome-theme, it doesn't use that theme when starting a
application under KDE. Maybe you fix that latter one first, so at least
it uses a prober
Same problem here, but if i run from a root konsole gksu synaptic the

The is due to kdesudo now loading the root profile instead of the user's one.
The old way to work was more efficient in your case, but cause lots of other
issues, since config files in the user's profile where set to root UID/GID.
There is no known solution yet... gksu does the same way than

I have the same problem. It works for current logged user but not for
another (sudo for example). I tried symlinking .gtk_qt_engine_rc and
.gtkrc_2.0-kde files to same sources but they are ignored. Starting from
command line or from kde menu (e.g synaptic) does not matter.

Same problem here, but it's not only the gtk-qt-engine, theme
configuration in kcontrol or systemsettings are completely ignored im
that case.

Start synaptic with GTK default theme.
