Hi, I "solved" the problem by installing "gtk-qt-engine-kde4" from Sid,
and in KDE4 "systemsettings" "appearance" > "GTK style and fonts"
(translations approx., my system is not in English) you will be able to
choose to "use my kde themes and fonts in GTK apps" or not, and
customize fonts used by GTK apps. It looks OK here using Bitstream-vera
system-wide).
Hope it can work for you too.
