As in the subject. My distribution - Arch linux doesn't have that feature, but I know that it's possible. I've seen it in kubuntu. How to do that? Unfortunatelly arch devs don't know that, maybe some of you does.

The probably patched Qt to do a dynamic lookup or something like that.

Qt Development Frameworks (formerly known as Trolltech) will be working on a plugin based approach for Qt 4.7

Hm...take this with a grain of salt since I'm not sure it's the reason it works for me. However, I recall a comment on kde-look.org to the same extent which is one reason why I'm suggesting it. The other two are: it doesn't hurt to try and it works for me...

Anyway, I have the KDE-dialogues in most Qt-apps (the one exception I can think of is Scribus) and the only thing I've done is to switch widget style from Oxygen to Qtcurve.

Kgtk, as mentioned above, can do the trick too but I've personally found it to be too moody...when it works it works great, but on ocassion the app that worked yesterday suddenly reverts back to standard Qt-dialogues (or gtk-ones if that's the case).

I think this happened on Debian too. Oxygen has to link to libkdeui for that to happen but, by default, that (unnecessary) link is removed at compile time by the packagers script.
