I think you have to install kcontrol to configure gtk-qt-engine. This
will pull in some more packages that are not required by Konsole and
K3b:

kdebase-data       |  1083kB  |  2724kB
kicker             |  2254kB  |  7332kB
libfontenc1        |  19.1kB  |  86.0kB
libgl1-mesa-glx    |  176kB   |  590kB
libgl1-mesa-swx11  |  1003kB  |  2859kB
libglu1-mesa       |  217kB   |  553kB
libraw1394-8       |  27.5kB  |  77.8kB
libssl0.9.8        |  975kB   |  2408kB
libusb-0.1-4       |  21.6kB  |  98.3kB
usbutils           |  162kB   |  532kB

(The first number is the download size and the second one is the install
 size.)

You probably have most of the lib* ones already, but installing
kdebase-data and kicker just to configure gtk applications seems a bit
ridiculous to me.

These three lines work for me in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "user-font" { font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11" }
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11"

It seems that iceweasel sets its menu font according to gtk-font-name,
but it probably cannot hurt to set all widget classes to the same font
to ensure uniformity. (I tested this with iceweasel 3.0.3-2 and without
gtk-qt-engine being installed.)
