Please don't. These cross-toolkit theming implementations are pretty
fragile and really not the way to go. The gtk-qt hack has been the
source of a considerable fraction of the crash reports that are clogging
up the GTK+ bugzilla. If you want a single cross-toolkit theme
implementation, work on a toolkit-agnostic theming framework.
