Well, I think that an hypothetical KDE-looking GTK theme would use Qt
calls to paint widget, same as the GNOME-looking Qt theme paints using
gtk_paint_*.

Gtk apps normally use either libnotify, libappindicator or GtkStatusIcon
(systray protocol). All of them are supported by KDE, AFAIK.
File type associations are from xdg-mime/shared-mime-info, and should be
shared by all freedesktop toolkits.
Icon theme is taken from XSettings, you just need to export it, like
Xfce and Lxde do.
As for CDDB config, I don't think GNOME as something shared across the
desktop for that.
