So after version 5.6 Qt will mimic GTK 3 instead of GTK 2?

Just to be on the same page, if comparing GTK and QT ways of doing things,
Qt style is analogous to engine in GTK world, and Qt platform theme is analogous to theme in GTK world, right?
Whey you choose theme in GTK, GTK selects appropriate engine to render that theme.
Up until recently in Qt you had to choose style manually, and themes (if particular style supported any) were
this style's personal matter. Has something changed recently?

If you're running some xsettings daemon on your local system, any X client using this X server should
get these xsettings. If theme files are present on X client's machine, it should in theory apply the theme.
