+This is not available under KDE 4.7 apparently - there is no "Appearance
+and Themes" option.  I do recall the "GTK Styles and Fonts" settings but
+could not find them in the latest KDE control panel

+Then I discovered that that the gtk-qt-kcm wasn't installed - and once

+Will try and look it up . .
