I have no idea and no way to check (except through trying to understand the MSWin-specific Qt sources). It has to be an appropriate style that's always available because part of Qt.

On OS X, that widget is rendered like the native tab bar widget that should only be used in dialogs and comparable views where the number of tabs is preferably fixed and limited. There are also other rendering issues which probably stem from presumptions KDevelop makes about the tab layout in the extensions it implements.

The underlying idea is that it allows users to find an style that works better for them if they feel a reason to do so. This option works regardless of whether a platform theme plugin is available.
