In this previous post, I said I had found a way to adjust the eclipse fonts (that are gtk fonts) in KDE. That was a right solution, but unfortunately, it does no survive logouts from KDE. Each time you should re-run the gnome configuration program.
However, that's an even nicer solution: install the package gtk-qt-engine:
The GTK-Qt Theme Engine is a plugin for GTK that allows GTK applications to use Qt widget styles. Aimed primarily at KDE users, this plugin provides a way to unify the look and feel of the Linux desktop.
this will add the additional menu in the KDE Control Center - Appearance and Themes that will do the trick! Now Eclipse, Firefox and Thunderbird look very nice with the same KDE style.

Thank you very much! :-D
Thank you, my Firefox and Eclipse look nice finally...but some dialog layout is broken (eg. advanced preferences in Firefox). Anyway thx a lot
Thanx a lot for this post! I've exactly the same setup on the newest openSUSE and this hint is exactly what i was looking for. Btw, the gtk-engine package is named kde4-gtk-qt-engine here.
glad to hear that, jano!
and compliments for your blog!
Thanks a lot! It really works.
You don't need that. Just
cd ~/.kde/Autostart/
and
ln -s /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon .
That way you don't need to call gnome-control-center every time but the gnome settings still load themselves automatically at your next KDE login. That's what I use and it works.
But this way you'd use gtk gnome fonts, wouldn't you?
