Chapter 13. KDE with non-KDE applications

13.1. My non-KDE applications like Emacs and kterm are running amok with strange colors!
13.2. How can I set my default web browser to be something other than Konqueror?
13.3. How can I configure the style and fonts of GTK applications within KDE ?
13.4. I have been hearing about this gecko kpart or Qt Mozilla, how do I get these?

13.1.	My non-KDE applications like Emacs and kterm are running amok with strange colors!
	Start the KDE Control Center and in Appearance & Themes-> Colors uncheck the Apply colors to non-KDE applications checkbox and click Apply.
13.2.	How can I set my default web browser to be something other than Konqueror?
	If you are using KDE 3.3 or later, open up the KDE Control Center and navigate to the KDE Components->Component Chooser panel. Select Web Browser from the list on the left, then select Open http and https URLs in the following browser: and type in the name of the browser (e.g. mozilla, firefox, opera, etc.) in the textbox.
13.3.	How can I configure the style and fonts of GTK applications within KDE ?
	The simplest way to achieve this is to download and compile the gtk-qt theme engine from http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt. This theme engine makes your GTK applications look like your KDE widget style by calling functions from Qt™ instead of drawing the styles itself. Once the theme engine has been installed, there will be a KDE Control Center module under Appearance & Themes->GTK Styles and Fonts.
13.4.	I have been hearing about this gecko kpart or Qt™ Mozilla, how do I get these?
	Good luck! The Qt™ Mozilla code is in Mozilla cvs, and not very stable as of yet. In order to use it, you'll have to check out Mozilla from cvs according to these instructions: http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html. Then, configure either the Mozilla suite or the Firefox browser with the option --enable-default-toolkit=qt in addition to any other options you would like to enable. More instructions on building Mozilla can be found here.
