+Components</guimenu><guimenuitem>Component
+Chooser</guimenuitem></menuchoice> panel. Select <guilabel>Web

+<question>
+<para>How can I configure the style and fonts of <acronym>GTK</acronym>
+applications within &kde; ?
+</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>
+The simplest way to achieve this is to download and compile the
+<acronym>gtk-qt</acronym> theme engine from <ulink
+url="http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt">
+http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt</ulink>. This theme engine makes
+your <acronym>GTK</acronym> applications look like your &kde; widget style
+by calling functions from &Qt; instead of drawing the styles itself. Once
+the theme engine has been installed, there will be a &kcontrolcenter; module
+under <menuchoice><guimenu>Appearance &amp; Themes</guimenu><guimenuitem>GTK
+Styles and Fonts</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.

+<question>
+<para>I have been hearing about this gecko kpart or &Qt; Mozilla, how do I
+get these?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>
+Good luck! The &Qt; Mozilla code is in Mozilla cvs, and not very stable as
+of yet. In order to use it, you'll have to check out Mozilla from cvs
+according to these instructions:
+<ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html">
+http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html</ulink>. Then, configure either the Mozilla
+suite or the Firefox browser with the option
+<command>--enable-default-toolkit=qt</command> in addition to any other
+options you would like to enable. More instructions on building Mozilla can
+be found <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/build">here</ulink>.
