QT can't detect GTK style

[Benoît Barberousse]

qtgtkstyle cannot detect the elementary gtk style, defaults to shitty qt style.

Same here. I can reproduce the bug easily by installing and running qt4-qtconfig from terminal. The application loads fine and works, but the theme is not consistent and a message in the terminal complains about QGtkStyle not able to load the gtk theme.
Here's a screenshot:

Update:
Running the following command in a terminal and restarting the session fixes the problem for most qt applications (skype still doesn't work, i believe this is something related to it being i386 while i am on x86_64):

gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Elementary

Update #2:

Installing ia32-libs from ubuntu repos also fixes the qt theming issues for 32bit applications on x86_64.

Francesco's first fix worked for me as well. I imagine developers will
implement the fix?

I've applied the fix to elementary OS default settings. Thanks! Keep 'em coming ;)

Thanks for the commit

I have experienced this issue with Draftsight V1R7. ia32-libs are removed from trusty, so you will need to dig up a few things and install in i386, but the biggest fix was having libgnomeui-0:i386 installed. This fixes issues with Qt apps in 32 bit detecting the theme you placed in GTK2.
