How to set KDE theme without kcontrol?

Some programs use the kde libraries, but they don't need the kdebase package. However, kcontrol is inside kdebase, which is a bit annoying if you only need to set a theme -- or a widget style, colorset and so on. What are the config file that affect it? What are the relevant parts that need to be edited? An example would be good, too

[edit] Changing QT themes with no KControl

Maybe try using qtconfig?

[edit] Older qtcurve instructions

moving these here because they were misleadingly the first thing in the article

Previously, you had to get the ebuild from bugzilla[1] and add it to their local portage overlay, then

  emerge -av --digest qtcurve

Or use the Sunrise[2] overlay:

  emerge -av layman
  echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
  layman -f -a sunrise
  emerge -av qtcurve

UPDATE: qtcurve has finally made it into the main portage tree.

  emerge --sync
  emerge -av qtcurve gtk-engines-qtcurve

All other Linux users should follow the following instructions.

Download, unpack. As NORMAL USER (this is important, configuration fail with root) run:

  ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
  make 
  su
  make install
